Question 15

200 g of ice at 0° C converts into water at 0° C in 1 minute when heat is supplied to it at a constant rate. In how much time, 200 g of water at 0° C will change to 20° C? Take specific latent heat of ice = 336 J g-1.

Answer

Given,

mi = 200 g

mw = 200 g

Time for ice to melt (t1) = 1 min = 60 s

Change in temperature of water (Δt) = 20° C

specific latent heat of ice = 336 J g-1

Rate of heat exchange is constant.

Therefore, power required for converting ice to water = power required to increase the temperature of water.

Hence, time taken = 15 s
