Step One: solid ice rises in temperature<br />
As we apply heat, the ice will rise in temperature until it<br />
arrives at its normal melting point of zero Celsius.<br />
Once it arrives at zero, the Δt equals 10.0 °C.<br />
Here is an important point: THE ICE HAS NOT MELTED<br />
YET.<br />
At the end of this step we have SOLID ice at zero<br />
degrees. It has not melted yet. That's an important point.<br />
Each gram of water requires a constant amount of energy<br />
to go up each degree Celsius. This amount of energy is<br />
called specific heat and has the symbol c.<br />
72.0 grams of ice (no liquid water yet!) has changed 10.0 °C. We need to calculate the energy<br />
needed to do this.<br />
This summarizes the information needed:<br />
Δt = 10 °C<br />
The mass = 72.0 g<br />
c = 2.06 Joules per gram-degree Celsius<br />
The calculation needed, using words & symbols is:<br />
q = (mass) (Δt) (c)<br />
Why is this equation the way it is?<br />
Think about one gram going one degree. The ice needs 2.06 J for that. Now go the second degree.<br />
Another 2.06 J. Go the third degree and use another 2.06 J. So one gram going 10 degrees needs<br />
2.06 x 10 = 20.6 J. Now we have 72 grams, so gram #2 also needs 20.6, gram #3 needs 20.6 and so<br />
on until 72 grams.<br />
With the numbers in place, we have:<br />
q = (72.0 g) (10 °C) (2.06 J/g °C)<br />
So we calculate and get 1483.2 J. We won't bother to round off right now since there are four more<br />
calculations to go. Maybe you can see that we will have to do five calculations and then sum them all<br />
up.<br />
One warning before going on: three of the calculations will yield J as the unit on the answer and two<br />
will give kJ. When you add the five values together, you MUST have them all be the same unit.<br />
In the context of this problem, kJ is the preferred unit. You might want to think about what 1483.2 J is<br />
in kJ.<br />
Notes:<br />
When we add heat to ice it would lead to the temperture of the ice will rise until it tranformers to its normal melting pointof zero Celsius.<br />
Once it become zero it will becom 10 degrees celsuis. In order to make make each gram of water youmust need a constant to go up a<br />
degree in celsuis.These amount of energy is refferdto as C Without the constant amount of energy the temperature in celsuis could go up. Y<br />
ou woud use the formula Q= Mass*T^ *(C). M i mass and T^ is specific heat while C is temperature in joules. In these equation all you have<br />
to do is multiply everthing in order to get your result whivh would be in joules. Example would be Q= 2(mass) g *4.18 (water specic heat)<br />
3 j/g c change. After you multyply all the number yopu will get yur results which would be 25.08 j. you would then put in significant figures<br />
which would be 3 signifcant figures. <strong>Final</strong>ly your final answer would be 25.1 J<br />
