Explanation / Answer

Given that the initial temperature of ice is Ti =-11.2oC Thickness of ice is t = 5.45*10-4 m Area is A = 1.29 m2 Density is = 917 kg/m3 ----------------------------------------------------- Then the mass of ice is m = *V                                         = *A*t                                         = -------- kg Heat required to melt ice is Q = heat required to change ice from-11.2oC to 0oC ice + Heat required to meltice at 0oC                                              = m*Si*(11.2oC) + mLice                                              = m*(2090 J/kg.K)*(11.2oC) + m(33.5*104 J/kg )                                                 = ------------ J
