How much heat is required to convert 2 kg of ice at −10 °C into water at 20 °C? (cice = 2.09 kJ/kg· K, h if = 335 kJ/kg, cwater = 4.187 kJ/kg· K)

  1. 837.48 kJ
  2. 209.28 kJ
  3. 921.22 kJ
  4. 879.28 kJ

Answer

D. 879.28 kJ

Solution

Q = m cice T + m h if + m cw T = 41.80 + 670.00 + 167.48 = 879.28 kJ.
