An open container holds ice of mass 0.555 kg at a temperature of -16.6 ∘c . the mass of the container can be ignored. heat is supplied to the container at the constant rate of 820 j/minute . the specific heat of ice to is 2100 j/kg⋅k and the heat of fusion for ice is 334×103j/kg. a. how much time passes before the ice starts to melt?

b. from the time when the heating begins, how much time does it take before the temperature rises above freezing?

A. 23.59 minutes.

              B. 249.65 minutes

Explanation: This question involves the concept of Latent Heat and specific heat capacities of water in solid phase.

Latent heat of fusion is the total amount of heat rejected from the unit mass of water at 0 degree Celsius to convert completely into ice of 0 degree Celsius (and the heat required for vice-versa process).

Specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required by the unit mass of a substance to raise its temperature by 1 kelvin.

Here, given that:

Asked:

1. Time require for the ice to start melting.

2. Time required to raise the temperature above freezing point.

Sol.: 1.

We have the formula:

Using above equation we find the total heat required to bring the ice from -16.6°C to 0°C.

Now, we require 19347.3 joules of heat to bring the ice to 0°C  and then on further addition of heat it starts melting.

∴The time required before the ice starts to melt is the time required to bring the ice to 0°C.

= 23.59 minutes.

Sol.: 2.

Next we need to find the time it takes before the temperature rises above freezing from the time when heating begins.

Now comes the concept of Latent  heat into the play, the temperature does not starts rising for the ice as soon as it reaches at 0°C it takes significant amount of time to raise the temperature because the heat energy is being used to convert the phase of the water molecules from solid to liquid.

From the above solution we have concluded that 23.59 minutes is required for the given ice to come to 0°C, now we need some extra amount of energy to convert this ice to liquid water of 0°C.

We have the equation: latent heat,

Now  the time required for supply of 185370 J:

t= 226.06 minutes

∴ The time it takes before the temperature rises above freezing from the time when heating begins= 226.06 + 23.59

= 249.65 minutes

this means that the temperature of both substances will be equal

c) power lifting, will be your answer.
