Thanks for the help, I've found a table that represents these specific heat vaules. I understand know that the ice must be heated, then melted (latent), then heated again. Add these up and get the answer. Thank you so much for the help. Recommending this site to all the people in my class!
What is the general formula for figuring the latent heat using J? The example in my book (it's been 10 years since a science class for me) only uses the kcals to calculate the number. I'm not understanding exactly where the numbers you've used are coming from. Is there a good website that you...
Homework Statement
How much heat is necessary to change 395 g of ice at -10°C to water at 20°C?
Homework Equations
mLf + mc(delta)T
The Attempt at a Solution
(.395kg)(80kcal/kg)+(.395kg)(1.00kcal/kg x 1 deg C)(20--10)
(31.6kcal)+(.395kcal degC)(30)
31.6kcal + 11.85 kcal=43.45...
