Calculate the total amount of energy required in calories to convert 50.0 g of ice at 0.00 degrees Celsius to steam at 100. degrees Celsius. Specific heat capacity of water is 1.00 cal/g OC

Hfusion = 80 cal/g OC and Hvap = 540 cal/g OC

Write the complete equation you will use.

Substitute the values in the equation in step 1.

Report the math answer with 3 sig figs and the correct unit.

The amount of heat absorbed is

Explanation:

Few processes involved are:

(1):

(2):

(3):

Calculating the heat absorbed for the process having same temperature:

......(i)

where,

q is the amount of heat absorbed, m is the mass of sample and is the enthalpy of fusion or vaporization

Calculating the heat released for the process having different temperature:

......(ii)

where,

= specific heat of solid or liquid

are final and initial temperatures respectively

We are given:

Putting values in equation (i), we get:

We are given:

Putting values in equation (i), we get:

We are given:

Putting values in equation (i), we get:

Calculating the total amount of heat released:

Hence, the amount of heat absorbed is

a is the correct answer
