Question

A block of ice sitting at 0 °C is completely melted by adding 584.5 J of heat to it. If the latent heat of fusion for ice is 334 J/g what is the mass of the ice?

Use the below equation to calculate the mass of the ice.

Include two decimal places and do not use units in your answer.

m = Q/HΔf

Answer 1

mass of ice is 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Using, the formula given in the question,

m = Q/HΔf.................. Equation 1

Where Q = Heat, m = mass of ice, HΔf = Latent heat of fussion of for ice.

From the question,

Given: Q = 584.5 J, HΔf = 334 J/g

Substitute these values into equation 2

m = 584.5/334

m = 1.75 kg.

Hence the mass of ice without unit is 1.75
