Given data
m = 50.0 gc_ice = 2.09 J/(g·°C)ΔH_fus = 334 J/gc_water = 4.184 J/(g·°C)ΔH_vap = 2260 J/gc_steam = 2.01 J/(g·°C)- Calculate q₁ to heat ice from -10 °C to 0 °C.
- Calculate q₂ to melt the ice.
- Calculate q₃ to heat water from 0 °C to 100 °C.
- Calculate q₄ to vaporize the water.
- Calculate q₅ to heat steam from 100 °C to 110 °C.
- Calculate qtot.
Full worked solution
- Calculate q₁ to heat ice from -10 °C to 0 °C.q₁ = 50.0 × 2.09 × 10 = 1045 J.
- Calculate q₂ to melt the ice.q₂ = 50.0 × 334 = 16,700 J.
- Calculate q₃ to heat water from 0 °C to 100 °C.q₃ = 50.0 × 4.184 × 100 = 20,920 J.
- Calculate q₄ to vaporize the water.q₄ = 50.0 × 2260 = 113,000 J.
- Calculate q₅ to heat steam from 100 °C to 110 °C.q₅ = 50.0 × 2.01 × 10 = 1005 J.
- Calculate qtot.q_tot = 152,670 J = 152.7 kJ.
Result:qtot = 152.7 kJ.
