Homework Statement
How much energy is required to change a 35 g ice cube from ice at −15 C to steam at 117 C?
The specific heat of ice is 2090 J/kg * C, the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg * C, the specific heat of stream is 2010 J/kg * C, the heat of fusion is 3.33 × 10^5 J/kg, and the heat of vaporization is 2.26 × 10^6 J/kg.
Answer in units of J.
Homework Equations
Q=m*L
Q=m*c*[tex]\Delta[/tex]T
The Attempt at a Solution
35g*15C*2090J/kg*C - heat to raise ice's temp. to freezing
+ 3.33 * 10^5 J/kg *35g - heat to melt ice into water
+ 100C *4186J/kg*C *35g - heat to raise water temperature to boiling
+ 2.26*10^6 J/kg* 35g - heat to boil water into vapor
+ 2010 J/kg*C *117C *35g - heat to make vapor rise to 117 C
=114734 J
