A 2.40 kg block of ice is heated with 5820 J of heat. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J•g^-1•C^-1. By how much will it’s temperature rise, assuming it does not melt?

The temperature rise is

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q = Heat absorbed by ice = 5280 J

m = mass of ice = 2.40 kg = 2400 g   (1kg=1000g)

c = heat capacity of water =

Initial temperature  =

Final temperature =  

Change in temperature ,

Putting in the values, we get:

Thus the temperature rise is

the dissolution of polymer can be thermodynamically described in 2 steps.
