The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kg ∘C. Calculate the heat capacity of 10 kg of water per ∘C:
Calculate the heat energy required to convert completely 10 kg of water at 50°C into steam at 100°C, given that the specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/(kg°C) and the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water is 2260 kJ/kg.
The amount of heat energy required to convert 1 kg of ice at −10∘C to water at 100∘C is 7,77,000 J. Calculate the specific latent heat of ice.
Specific heat capacity of ice = 2100 J kg−1 K−1, specific heat capacity of water=4200 J kg−1 K−1.
