Question
Water's heat of fusion is 80. cal/g and its specific heat is 1.0 * (cal)/(gC) Some velomobile seats have been designed to hold ice packs inside their cushions. If you started a rid with ice packs that held 1500 g of frozen water at 0 Cand the temperature of the water at the end of the ride was 32 degrees * C how many calories of heat energy were absorbed?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given : Mass of ice i.e frozen water = 1500 g

Initial temperature of ice = 0.0 oC

Final temperature of water = 32 oC

Heat of fusion of water = 80.0 cal/g

And specific heat of water = 1 cal/g.oC
