The amount of energy needed to freeze 12.5 grams of water into ice is equals to 14.295 kilo joules.

How do we calculate energy?

Energy required to freeze water will be calculated by using the following equation as:

Q = mcT, where

m = mass of water = 12.5g = 0.0125kg

c = specific heat of water = 4.187 kJ/kg.K

T = temperature to freeze = 0 degree C = 273.15 K

On putting values we get,

Q = (0.0125)(4.187)(273.15)

Q = 14.295 kJ

Hence required amount of energy is 14.295 kJ.
