How much energy is required to heat 2kg of water through the following changes?

Total heat = Heat required to convert 2kg of ice to 2kg of water at 0℃ +Heat required to convert 2kg of water at 0℃ to 2kg of water at 20℃

Heat=mhfg+mCp\Delta t$$

Here, m(mass of ice)=2kg

hfg(latent heat of fusion of ice)=334kJ

Cp of water(specific heat)=4.187 kJ/kg-k

Δt(temperature difference) =20℃

Therefore,

Heat required=2×334+2×4.187×(20−0)

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.

i just learnt this recently but i need to look through my notes again
