When determining the latent heat of fusion for ice, we added a small handful of ice to the calorimeter without measuring its mass. This is fine because: the system loses heat to the surroundings we do not need the mass of the ice, since latent heat is per kg anyways we can deduce the added mass of ice at the end of the trial the equilibrium temperature of the system is arranged to be near room temperature

Over the course of a day, 4.0 kg of water evaporates from the leaves of a corn plant. a) How much energy is required to evaporate the water? (Assume that the temperature of the leaves is 30C.) b) If the plant is active for 12 hours, how much power does this correspond to? You can think of this as the necessary power to drive transport in the plant.
H₂O has a much higher latent heat of vaporization than latent heat of fusion. Therefore, Ice at 0° C will require (fill in the blank), heat to convert it to 0° C water, than 100° C water would take to convert to 1000 C steam.

A 58-kg cross-country skier glides over snow as in the figure below. The coefficient of friction between skis and snow is 0.18. Assume all the snow beneath her skis is at 0°C and that all the internal energy generated by friction is added to snow, which sticks to her skis until it melts. How far would she have to ski to melt 1.5 kg of snow?

a cup of coffee sits on a table in an insulated mug. to coool the coffee down a ice block is added. the inital mass of coffee in the mug is 90g. the intial temperature of the coffee is 90 degree celsius. the ice block has started to melt and is then put into the coffee. the ice melts and the new temperature of the cofee is 78 degree c and the new mass is 110g. the ice block (final-intital mass) is 20g. what are teh tempeartuare changes for the coffee and ice (started at 0 degree celsius) also if specific heat of water is used for both the coffee and ice waht is the heat energy lost by the coffee and the heat energy gained by the ice after it melted?
