Ice of mass 10g at 5°C was completely converted to water at 0°C, calculate the quantity of heat used. [specific heat capacity of ice = 2.1 Jg\(^{-1}\)K\(^{-1}\), specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336 Jg\(^{-1}\)]

  • A. 105J
  • B. 3255J
  • C. 3465J
  • D. 16821J

Correct Answer: C. 3465J

Explanation

Q = ML + MC\(\theta\)

= 10 x 335 + 10 x 2.1 x 5

= 3465J
