Answer:
17,140 g = 17.14 kg.
Explanation:
- To solve this problem, we can use the relation:
Q = m.c.ΔT,
where, Q is the amount of heat absorbed by ice (Q = 3600 x 10³ J).
m is the mass of the ice (m = ??? g).
c is the specific heat of the ice (c of ice = 2.1 J/g.°C).
ΔT is the difference between the initial and final temperature (ΔT = final T - initial T = 100.0°C - 0.0°C = 100.0°C).
∵ Q = m.c.ΔT
∴ (3600 x 10³ J) = m.(2.1 J/g.°C).(100.0°C)
∴ m = (3600 x 10³ J)/(2.1 J/g.°C).(100.0°C) = 17,140 g = 17.14 kg.
