The heat of vaporization of water is 540 cal/g, and the heat of fusion is 80 cal/g.
The heat capacity of liquid water is 1 cal g-1 oC-1 and the heat capacity of ice is 0.5 cal g-1 oc-1.
26 g of ice at -15°C is heated until it becomes liquid water at 40°C. How much heat was required for this to occur?
A certain alcohol has a specific heat of 0.57 cal/g\deg C and a melting point of -114\deg C. You have a 150 g cup of
liquid alcohol at 22\deg C and then you drop a 10 g frozen piece of alcohol at -11\deg C into it. After some time the
alcohol cube has melted and the cup has come to a common temperature of 7\deg C. What is the latent heat of fusion(
i.e. the "L" in the Q = mL equation) for this alcohol?
Suppose that 0.1 kg of ice at an initial temperature of -10 degrees Celsius are put into 0.40 kg of water at an initial temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. Assume the final temperature is 0 degree Celsius. How many grams of ice will melt? Specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 J/kg /degrees Celsius. Specific heat of fusion of water is 336,000 J/kg and specific heat capacity of ice is 2,100 J/kg/degrees Celsius.
