Latent heat Definition and 199 Threads

Energy lost by water = Energy gained by ice Energy lost by water = 0.16 x 4200 x (100-t) Energy gained by ice = 0.205 x L + 0.205 x (t) (where t is the temperature at thermal equilibrium). However, there does not appear to be enough info to continue. The solution, however, considered t to be...

Can someone walk me through this? Our teacher didn't bother to meet us synchronously ever since and I'm kinda stumped on solving this. The equation I used for this problem is: mi = [mw(cw)(ti-tf)]/[Lfi + (Tf - Ti)] mi = [190(1)(23-3)]/[79.6+(3+20)] = 37.04g mi = mass of ice mw = mass of...

answer is 78oCdelta G = delta H - T delta S -235,310- (-277,690) = -38.56e3- T (282.59-160.70) T = -664K I am not sure if my concept is correct. May anyone help a little bit on that please? thank you

The second question is where I'm lost. The answer to the first question is 5.39 grams. The second is 10.3 grams. Until I saw the answer I was setting the equation up as if some of the original steam had condensed. But it appears that some of the original water changed into steam. Is it necessary...

Can water simply absord the kinetic energy from colliding air molucules to change its phase? And can water transformed into ice simply have the kinetic energy of its molecules increased to balance out the lost latent heat? Would not this again change ice into water?

First, I calculated the heat required for the ice to melt: Q=mLf Q=0.150×330 Q=49.5 J Then, I calculated the final temperature of the water by forming the following equation: Q=mcΔT −49.5=(0.15+0.35)×4200×(Tf −80) Tf=80.0 degrees Celcius But the answer says 32 degrees Celsius.

Can anyone please help me on how to tackle this question? I really do not have any clue to make a start on it? Thanks for any help!

I actually can't figure out what kind of phase transition it is and how to proceed through..!
