How Much Steam Is Needed to Melt Ice into Water at 20 Celsius?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the mass of steam needed to melt 1 kg of ice at 0°C into water at 20°C, the heat required to melt the ice and then raise the temperature of the resulting water must be calculated. The heat needed to melt the ice is found using the formula Q = mL, where L is the latent heat of fusion. Additionally, the heat required to raise the temperature of the water from 0°C to 20°C is calculated using Q = mc(deltaT). The steam, initially at 100°C, must release heat through both condensation and cooling, which must equal the total heat absorbed by the ice and water. Proper organization of these equations and understanding of latent heat is crucial for solving the problem.

Homework Statement



What mass of steam at 100 Celcius must be added to 1.00 kg of ice at 0 Celcius to yield liquid water at 20 Celcius.


Homework Equations



Q = mL
Q = mc(deltaT)
change in energy = 0

The Attempt at a Solution



Ice
m= 1.00
c = 2100
T1 = 0
Tf =
L = 333

water
m=
c = 4190
T1 =
Tf= 20

Steam
m = ?
c = 2010
L = 2260
T1 = 100
Tf =

I am stil missing some of the needed information and i am not sure how to organize my equations.

Divide into two parts.

How much heat is needed to melt the ice?

How much heat is needed to raise the temp of this water from 0 C to 20 C?

This whole heat is supplied by a certain amount of steam, which first gives up the latent heat of evaporation, and then cools from 100 c to 20 C. Equate this to the sum of the first two.

(Remember, there are two kinds of latent heat involved here. Don't mix them up)
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
