How much heat does it take to melt an ice cube (m= 8g) which had a temperature of -10ºC (ΔT=10 K)?
Let it takes heat to melt the ice.
We know the specific heat for ice is C=2093 J/Kg. K.
The latent heat of ice is L=334 103 J/kg.
The temperature difference =10oC.
The mass of the ice m=8 g=0.008 kg.
It will take 2839.44 J heat to melt 8 g of ice.
