3. Because of the pressure inside a popcorn kernel, water does not vaporize at 100°C. Instead, it tovs liquid until its temperature is about 175°C, at which point the kernel ruptures and the superheated water turns into steam. How much energy is needed to pop 95.0 g of corn if 14 Serant of a kernel's mass consists of water? Assume that the latent heat of vaporization for nter at 175°C is 0.90 times its value at 100°C and that the kernels have an initial temperature of 175°C. Critical Thinking

You have a Dewar flask (a laboratory vacuum flask) that has an open top and straight sides, as shown below. You fill it with water and put it into the freezer. It is effectively a perfect insulator, blocking all heat transfer, except on the top. After a time, ice forms on the surface of the water. The liquid water and the bottom surface of the ice, in contact with the liquid water, are at 0 . The top surface of the ice is at the same temperature as the air in the freezer, 18 . Set the rate of heat flow through the ice equal to the rate of loss of heat of fusion as the water freezes. When the ice layer is 0.700 cm thick, find the rate in m/s at which the ice is thickening.
