Answer:
Q = 2997.69 J
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of ice, m = 15.6 grams
The temperature increases from -8.76 degrees Celsius to 85.9 degrees Celsius.
The specifc heat of ice is 2.03 J/g°C
We need to find the amount of energy required. The formula for energy required is given by :
[tex]Q=mc\Delta T\\\\=15.6\times 2.03\times (85.9-(-8.76))\\\\=2997.69\ J[/tex]
So, the required heat is equal to 2997.69 J.
