The conclusion obtained from these results.
Answer to Problem 1OQ
Option (c) The specific heat of ice is less than that of water.
Explanation of Solution
An amount of energy is added to ice by heat and raise it temperature from
Write the formula for specific heat
Here,
In the above equation, the mass and the temperature change of ice and water are the same. Thus, the specific heat is directly proportional to the energy added.
Since, water needs larger amount of energy to rise the temperature by

- Consider the latent heat of fusion and the latent heat of vaporization for H2O, 3.33 105 J/kg and 2.256 106 J/kg, respectively. How much heat is needed to a. melt 2.00 kg of ice and b. vaporize 2.00 kg of water? Assume the temperatures of the ice and steam are at the melting point and vaporization point, respectively. (a). UsingEq21.9, Q = mLF = (2.00 kg) (3.33l05 J/kg) = 6.66105 J (b).UsingEq21.10.

You add mI = 0.75 kg of ice at TI = -21°C to the water and the mix reaches a final, equilibrium temperature of Tf = 12°C. The specific heats of ice and water are cI = 2.10×103 J/(kg⋅°C) and cW = 4.19×103 J/(kg⋅°C), respectively, and the latent heat of fusion for water is Lf = 3.34×105 J/kg. Calculate the initial temperature of the water, in degrees Celsius.arrow_forwardA class of 13 students taking an exam has a power output per student of about 200 W. Assume the initial temperature of the room is 20°C and that its dimensions are 7.0 m by 17.4 m by 3.0 m. What is the temperature of the room at the end of 1.0 h if all the energy remains in the air in the room and none is added by an outside source? The specific heat of air is 1.01 ✕ 103 J/kg · °C, and its density is about 1.2 10-3 g/cm3. Carrow_forward
