How much energy is required to change a 40 g ice cube from ice at -40°C to steam at 100°C?
do it in temperature pieces:
-40 to 0C, ice
melting ice
heating water 0C to 100C
changing water to steam.
then add the four heats.
To determine the energy required to change the state of a substance, you need to consider two processes: heating and phase change. Let's break down the calculation step by step:
1. Heating the ice cube from -40°C to 0°C:
The energy required to raise the temperature of a substance can be calculated using the specific heat capacity (C) formula: Q = m * C * ΔT, where Q is the energy, m is the mass, C is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
Specific heat capacity (C) is different for different substances. For ice, it is approximately 2.09 J/(g·°C).
Q = (40 g) * (2.09 J/(g·°C)) * (0°C - (-40°C))
2. Melting the ice at 0°C to liquid water at 0°C:
The energy required to change the state of a substance from solid to liquid is given by the equation: Q = m * ΔHf, where Q is the energy, m is the mass, and ΔHf is the heat of fusion.
The heat of fusion for water is 334 J/g.
Q = (40 g) * (334 J/g)
3. Heating the water from 0°C to 100°C:
We can use the same specific heat capacity formula as in step 1, but this time we use the specific heat capacity of water, which is approximately 4.18 J/(g·°C).
Q = (40 g) * (4.18 J/(g·°C)) * (100°C - 0°C)
4. Vaporizing the water at 100°C to steam at 100°C:
The energy required to change the state of a substance from liquid to gas is given by the equation: Q = m * ΔHv, where Q is the energy, m is the mass, and ΔHv is the heat of vaporization.
The heat of vaporization for water is 2260 J/g.
Q = (40 g) * (2260 J/g)
Now, to get the total energy required, you need to add up the values obtained in each step.
Total energy = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4
I have provided you with the steps needed to calculate the energy required. You can substitute the values into the respective equations and perform the calculations to get the final result.
