Concept explainers
To Compare: The heat required to melt ice and that required to vaporize water.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Mass of ice and water,
Initial temperature of water,
Final temperature of water,
Formula Used:
Where, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity and
Specific heat capacity of water is,
Heat required to melt the ice:
Latent heat of fusion of ice,
Heat required to vaporize water:
Latent heat of vaporization of water,
Calculations:
Heat required to melt the ice:
Heat required to vaporise the water:
The difference in heat required to melt the ice and vaporize the water is:
Heat required to raise the temperature of water from
Conclusion:
Thus, the heat required to vaporize the heat is much greater than that required to melt the ice or raise the temperature of water from
