An amount of ice of mass 10−3kg and temperature −10∘C is transformed to vapour of temperature 110∘ by applying heat. The total amount of work required for this conversion is, (Take, specific heat of ice =2100Jkg−1K−1, specific heat of water =4180Jkg−1K−1, specific heat of steam =1920Jkg−1K−1, Latent heat of ice =3.35×105Jkg−1 and Latent heat of steam =2.25×106Jkg−1)
(A)3022 J
(B)3043 J✓ Correct
(C)3003 J
(D)3024 J
Answer: (B)
Solution
Heating the ice from −10°C to vapour at 110°C happens in five stages.
Warming ice from −10°C to 0°C:
Q1=mSiΔT=10−3×2100×10=21J.
Melting the ice at 0°C:
Q2=mLf=10−3×3.35×105=335J.
Warming water from 0°C to 100°C:
Q3=mSwΔT=10−3×4180×100=418J.
Vaporising the water at 100°C:
Q4=mLv=10−3×2.25×106=2250J.
Heating the steam from 100°C to 110°C:
Q5=mSvΔT=10−3×1920×10=19.2J.
Total heat required:
Qnet=21+335+418+2250+19.2=3043.2J≈3043J.
