Question
Answer:
HFusion*mass + Spec.Heat*mass*ΔT + HVap*mass
80cal/g*50.0g + 1.00cal/g°C*50.0g*(100°C-0°C) + 540cal/g*50g
3.60×10⁵cal
Explanation:
Using the HFusion we can find the heat needed to convert the ice to liquid water.
With specific heat capacity we can find the heat needed to increase the temperature of water from 0 to 100°C.
With HVap we can find the heat to convert the liquid water into steam.
The equations are:
HFusion*mass + Spec.Heat*mass*ΔT + HVap*mass
Computing the values:
80cal/g*50.0g + 1.00cal/g°C*50.0g*(100°C-0°C) + 540cal/g*50g
36000cal =
3.60×10⁵cal
