The heat of fusion for water is 80. cal/g. How many calories of heat are needed to melt a 35 g ice cube that has a temperature of 0 °C?

Respuesta :

Answer: 2800 calories

Explanation:

Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat required to convert 1 mole of solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure.

Amount of heat required to fuse 1 gram of water = 80 cal

Mass of ice given = 35 gram

Heat required to fuse 1 g of ice at [tex]0^0C[/tex] = 80 cal

Thus Heat required to fuse 35 g of ice =[tex]\frac{80}{1}\times 35=2800cal[/tex]

Thus 2800 calories of energy is required to melt 35 g ice cube
