Chapter 10, Problem 112CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of ice which get melts when temperature of 3 kg of lead drops to 0 C⁰ needs to be calculated if the specific heat of lead is 0.13 J /g C⁰.

Concept Introduction:

Heat for changing the state of water from ice can be determined as:

  ${\text{Q}}_{\text{1}}\text{= m s dT}$

Heat required for changing the state of ice from solid to liquid.

  ${\text{Q}}_{\text{2}}\text{= m L}$

Where, m is mass of ice or water

S is specific heat of water

dT is the change in temperature
