Chapter 5, Problem 97AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Themass of the melted ice is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The specific heat of a material is referred to as the quantity of heat used to raise the temperature by $1°\text{C}$ for $1\text{ g}$ of that material.

The heat related with a change in the temperature of a materialis determined as

$q=sm\Delta T$

Here, q represents the amount of heat, s signifies specific heat, m shows mass, and $\Delta T$ is the change in the temperature of the material.

The heat related with a change in the temperature of a material can also be determined as

$q=C\Delta T$

Here, C represents the heat capacity of the material, $\Delta T$ is the change in temperature, and $q$ is the amount of heat.
