What is the minimum amount of heat required to completely melt 20.0 grams of ice at its melting point?

(1) 20.0 J (3) 6680 J

(2) 83.6 J (4) 45 200 J

Respuesta :

Answer:

The right answer is option 3.

Explanation:

The minimum amount of heat required to melt ice is:

[tex]Q=m_{ice}\cdot L_{f}[/tex]

Where [tex]m_{ice}[/tex] and [tex]L_{f}[/tex] is the latent heat of fussion, measured in kg and kJ/kg, respectively.

[tex]Q = (0.02\,kg)\cdot (334\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )[/tex]

[tex]Q = 6.68\,kJ\,(6680\,J)[/tex]

The right answer is option 3.
