Question

Describe the relationship between"q" and energy in the melting of an ice cube.

Answer 1

Now "q" is the heat and energy is the capacity of any object or body ton perform any work. So we can relate them if we take the term specific heat in consideration.

As specific heat is the the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of an object in specific from one degree Celsius, for ice it is 2.108 kJ/kgK.

Step-by-step explanation:

• c = specific heat capacity,

• q = heat

• ΔT = change in temperature

So, we have:

• C= Q/ΔT

• It is the ratio of the amount of heat energy transferred to an object to the resulting increase in temperature of the object.
