Calculate the amount of energy required to change 50g of ice to liquid
q = mass ice x heat fusion ice = ?
To calculate the amount of energy required to change a substance from one state to another, we can use the equation:
Q = m * ΔH
Where:
Q is the amount of energy (in joules) required
m is the mass of the substance (in grams)
ΔH is the heat of fusion or vaporization (in joules per gram)
In this case, we are changing ice (solid) to liquid water. The specific heat of fusion for ice is 334 J/g.
Using the equation, we can calculate the amount of energy required:
Q = 50g * 334 J/g
Q = 16,700 J
Therefore, the amount of energy required to change 50g of ice to liquid water is 16,700 joules.
