20 g of water is heated at an increase of 2°C per minute. If the amount of water heated for 10 minutes passes into the vapor phase is determined as 8 g, calculate the heat of evaporation of the water according to the data.
A mass of ice at -4°C is needed to cool 115 kg of vegetables in a bunker for 24 hours. The initial temperature of the vegetables is assumed to be 29°C. It is also assumed that, within the 24-hr period, the average temperature inside the bunker is 7°C. If the heat gained per hour in the bunker is 30% of the heat removed to cool the vegetables from 29°C to 7°C, what would be the required mass of ice in kg?
Use:
Specific heat of water 4.2292 kJ/kg-°C
Specific heat of ice 1.9387 kJ/kg °C
Specific heat of vegetables 3.35 kJ/kg-°C
