Question

can someone please help me figure out the followingproblem? 1.The heat of fusion of water is 80 cal/g, the heat ofvaporization of water is 540 cal/g, the specifc heat of ice is 0.48cal/deg/g, the specific heat of steam is 0.48 cal/deg/g and thespecific heat of liquid water is 1.0 cal/deg/g. How much heat wouldbe needed to convert 10.83 g of ice at -43 °C to steam at 136°C?

thank you!

Explanation / Answer

Ice at -43 C to ice at 0 C Heat required = mass * specific heat of ice * temperaturedifference                      = 10.83 g * 0.48 cal/C/g * (0 - (-43))                      = 223.53 cal Ice at 0 to water at 0 C Heat = mass * heat of fusion          = 10.83g * 80 cal/g          =866.4 cal Water at 0 to water at 100 C    Heat = 10.83 g * 1.0 cal/g.C * (100 -0)            =1083 cal Water at 100 C to steam at 100 C Heat = 10.83 g * 540 cal/g          =5848.2 cal Steam at 100 C to steam at 136 C Heat = 10.83g * 0.48 cal/ C.g * (136 - 100)          =187.14 cal To get the total heat, just add up the individual heats.
