Calculate the total amount of heat required to convert 100g ice at 0°C to steam at 100°C.
(Specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336 J/g, specific latent heat of vaporization of steam = 2260 J/g, specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g°C).
Steam at 100°C is passed over 1000 g of ice at 0°C. After some time, 600 g of ice at 0°C is left and 450 g of water at 0°C is formed. Calculate the specific latent heat of vaporization of steam (Given: specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg°C, specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336,000 J/kg.)
1 kg of water is contained in a 1.25 kW kettle. Assuming specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g °C and specific latent heat of vaporization = 2260 J/g, calculate:
(i) the time taken for the temperature of water to rise from 25°C to its boiling point,
(ii) the mass of water which evaporates per minute from the boiling water.
