Explanation:
To convert from °C to °F , the formula is
( F-32 ) / 9 = C / 5
F is reading fahrenheit scale and C is in centigrade scale .
F = 205 , C = ?
(205 – 32) / 9 = C / 5
C = 96°C approx .
Let us calculate the heat required .
Total heat required = heat required to heat up the ice at – 20 °C to 0°C + heat required to melt the ice + heat required to heat up the water at 0°C to
96°C.
= 5 x 2.04 x (20-0) + 5 x 336 + 5 x ( 96-0 ) x 4.2 kJ .
= 204 + 1680 + 2016
= 3900 kJ .
