1.5 Exercise 17

Avg difficulty 2.5

A bag containing 0°C0 ° \text{C} ice is much more effective in absorbing energy than one containing the same amount of 0°C0 ° \text{C} water. (a) How much heat transfer is necessary to raise the temperature of 0.800 kg of water from 0°C0 ° \text{C} to 30.0°C30.0 ° \text{C}? (b) How much heat transfer is required to first melt 0.800 kg of 0°C0 ° \text{C} ice and then raise its temperature to 30.0°C30.0 ° \text{C}? (c) Explain how your answer supports the contention that the ice is more effective.
