A 152 g sample of ice at –37oC is heated until it turns into liquid water at 0oC. Find the change in heat content of the system.

What do you mean? The Q is a bit vague

The change in heat content is

26,000 J

.

Explanation:

Use the following equation:

Q

=

m

c

Δ

T

,

where

Q

is heat energy in Joules,

m

is mass,

c

is specific heat capacity, and

Δ

T

is change in temperature,
