Calculate the energy absorbed when 8.5g of ice is melted at 0 Celsius.

Question

thank you

Answer 1

Water is melted so we refer to the latent heat of fusion of water.

Latent heat of fusion is 334 j/g for WATER.

So we use the heat formula:

Q=mCT

Q=8.5(334)

Q=2839J

*We don't need (T) for this equation since water is being melted.
