Answer: The total energy, in kilojoules, that is needed to turn a 46 g block of ice at -25 degrees C into water vapor at 100 degrees C is 11.787 kJ.
Explanation:
Given: Mass = 46 g
Initial temperature = [tex]-25^{o}C[/tex]
Final temperature = [tex]100^{o}C[/tex]
Specific heat capacity of ice = 2.05 [tex]J/g^{o}C[/tex]
Formula used to calculate the energy is as follows.
[tex]q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})[/tex]
where,
q = heat energy
m = mass
C = specific heat capacity
[tex]T_{1}[/tex] = initial temperature
[tex]T_{2}[/tex] = final temperature
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
[tex]q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})\\= 46 g \times 2.05 J/g^{o}C \times (100 - (-25))^{o}C\\= 11787.5 J (1 J = 0.001 kJ)\\= 11.787 kJ[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that the total energy, in kilojoules, that is needed to turn a 46 g block of ice at -25 degrees C into water vapor at 100 degrees C is 11.787 kJ.
