Latent heat and Specific heat capacity questions.


1. How much water at 50C is needed to just melt 2.2 kg of ice at 0C? 2. How much water at 32C is needed to just melt 1.5 kg of ice at -10C? 3. How much steam at 100 is needed to just melt 5 kg of ice at -15C? 4. A copper cup holds some cold water at 4C. The copper cup weighs 140g while the water weighs 80g. If 100g of hot water, at 90C is added, what will be the final temperature of the water?

5. a)Explain where the energy is going at each section of the curve from "a" to "e" b) Using section "b" , calculate the amount of ice used to produce the graph c) Using section "c", calculate the amount of ice used to produce the graph
