Give;:
Mass of block = 250 g
Tempearture of refrigerator = -8.0°C
heat of fusion of water is 3.34x10^5 J/kg. c
specific heat of water = 4180 J/kg
Let's find the thermal energy the ice absorbs as it warns th room temperature of 22°C).
Apply the formula:
[tex]Q=mc(T_2-T_1)+h_fm_{}[/tex]Where:
c = 4180 J/kg
m = 250 g = 0.2450kg
T2 = 22°C
T1 = -8.0°C
hf = 3.34x10⁵ J/kg. c
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} Q=0.250\ast4180(22-(-8.0))+(3.34\ast10^5\ast0.250) \\ \\ Q=0.250\ast4180(22+8.0))+(3.34\ast10^5\ast0.250) \\ \\ Q=1045(30.0)+(83500) \\ \\ Q=114850\text{ J} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the thermal energy the ice absorbs is 114850 Joules.
ANSWER:
114850 J
