Is the Specific Heat of Ice Constant Below Zero Degrees Celsius?

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the specific heat of ice, particularly focusing on its values at temperatures below zero degrees Celsius, specifically within the intervals of [-273.15, -10) and (10, 0]. Participants are exploring how the specific heat may vary with temperature in these ranges.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are questioning the constancy of specific heat for ice at various temperatures and discussing the complexity of calculating it, suggesting that it may involve integral calculus. There are inquiries about the specific heat values at different temperatures within the specified intervals.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification on the specific heat of ice at various temperatures and acknowledging that it may not be a straightforward calculation. Some guidance has been offered regarding resources for further exploration, but no consensus has been reached on the specific values or methods.

Contextual Notes

There is an emphasis on the dependency of specific heat on temperature, with participants noting that values differ at various points within the discussed intervals. References to external resources suggest an exploration of detailed calculations and properties of ice.

The portion highlighted in the paint document, is the only the specific heat for ice at -10 deg celc?

What is the specific heat of ice in the interval of [-273.15,-10) and (10,0] (In deg celc) ??

Sorry I should make my self more clear. What is the specific heat of ice at a temperature T in that interval
[-273.15,-10) and (10,0] (T is In deg celc) .

But it's dependent of the temperature

[itex]C_p(ice,\,\,-15^o\,C) \neq C_p(ice,\,\,-25^o\,C)\neq C_p(ice,\,\,-35^o\,C)[/itex]
etc

Have you looked at the bottom table in the Appendix...
=====

to calculate exactly see here:

maybe I have misunderstood you...
