How Much Heat Must Be Removed to Make Ice from Water at Different Temperatures?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the heat removal required to make ice at -10°C from 2 kg of water at 20°C, three key steps must be considered. First, the water must be cooled from 20°C to 0°C, requiring a specific heat calculation. Next, the water at 0°C must undergo a phase change to ice, which involves removing 80 cal/g. Finally, the resulting ice must be cooled from 0°C to -10°C, again using the specific heat of ice. The initial calculation of 30 kcal is incorrect as it does not account for all necessary heat removal steps.

Homework Statement



How much heat (in kcal) must be removed to make ice at –10°C from 2 kg of water at 20°C? (The specific heat of ice is 0.5 cal/g °C.)

Homework Equations



Q=cmT

The Attempt at a Solution



I thought this problem was simple,
Q=0.5x2000x30
Then diving by 1000 again to put it into Kcal. 30 is not the right answer.

And the specific heat of water is 1.0 cal/g °C.

There are three things you have to account for:
The water has to be cooled 20°C.
The water at 0°C has to be converted to ice. (80C/g)
The ice at 0°C has to be cooled to -10°C.
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
