Given:
Volume of water that is frozen into ice = 500 ml
To determine:
Amount of heat absorbed by ice before being fully melted
Explanation:
Heat absorbed (Q) by ice is given as:
Q = m.Δ(Hfusion)
where:
m = mass of ice = Density of ice (water) * Volume of ice
= 1 g/ml * 500 ml = 500 g
ΔHfus = latent heat of fusion of water at 0C = 334 J/g
Q = 500 g * 334 J/g = 167,000 J
Ans: Heat absorbed by ice = 167 kJ
