A block of ice measuring 0.5 cubic foot is taken from the freezer where it was stored at -12F. How many Btu of heat will be required to convert the ice to water at 130F
volume of ice = 0.5 cubic foot = 14.16 L
mass of ice = d*v = 14.16*10^3*1 = 1.416*10^4 g
initial temperature = T1 = -12 F = -24.4 C
final temperature = 54.44 C
DHfus of water = 6.01 kj/mol
heat required(q) = mice*sice*DT1+n*DHfus+mwater*swater*DT2
= 1.416*10^4*2.108*(0--24.4)+(1.416*10^4/18)*6.01*10^3+1.416*10^4*4.184*(54.44-0)
= 8681.51 kj
= 8228.5 Btu
