What quantity of heat is required to change 20g of ice at -25°c to steam at 120°c

5289 joules

Explanation:

The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) required to heat a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since, Mass of ice = 20 g

C is not provided (Recall that the specific heat capacity of ice is 2.010J/g°C)

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

(120°C - (-25°C) =

120°C + 25°C = 145°C

Thus, Q = 20g x 2.010J/g°C x 145°C

Q= 5829J

Thus, 5829Joules of heat energy is required to heat ice

in simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g. this is also known as upthrust.

wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves.
