SECTION B: Answer the question by showing the calculation

1. 300g of ice at 00C melts. How much energy is required for this

Question 2-7 are based on the following information

 Specific heat capacity of water = 4 200 J kg-1 C-1
 Specific heat capacity of ice = 2 100 J kg-1 C-1
 Specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.34 X 105J kg-1
 Specific latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.26 X 106 J kg-1
2. An immersion heater rated at 500 W is fitted into a large block of ice at 00C. How long
does it take to melt 1.5kg of ice?
