1) How much energy is needed to change (i) 5 kg of ice into water at the same temperature,
(ii) 5 kg of water into water vapour at the same temperature?
2) 160g of molten silver at its melting point, 960°C, is allowed to solidify at the same
temperature and gives out 16800J of heat. What is the specific latent heat of silver?
3) Calculate the amount of heat needed to change 0.50 kg of water at 20 °C to steam at
100 °C.
4) Calculate the amount of heat required to change 4 kg of ice at 0 °C to water at 50 °C?
5) Calculate the heat required to convert 2kg of ice at -12 °C to steam at 100 °C
6) A 460W water heater is used to boil water. Assuming no heat losses, what mass of steam
will it produce in 10 minutes?
7) An immersion heater is placed into 1 kg of water which is at a temperature of 25 °C. The
temperature of the water rises to 100 °C in 315 seconds and the water starts to boil.
(i) What is the power of the heater?
(ii) How long will it take to boil away all the water?
8) A refrigerator can convert 400 g of water at 20 °C to ice at -10 °C in 3 hours. Find the
average rate of heat extraction from the water in J/s
9) A beaker contains 200 g of water at 15 °C. 25 g of ice at 0°C is added to the water which is
stirred until the ice is completely melted, Calculate the lowest temperature of the mixture,
assuming that all the heat to melt the ice is taken from the water and that no heat enters or
leaves the system.
10) A glass of lemonade of mass 0.2 kg is initially at 30 °C. 50 g of ice at 0 °C is added to
the lemonade and all of it melts. What is the final temperature of the lemonade?
