A plastic-foam container used as a picnic cooler contains a block of ice at 0°C. If 225g of ice melts, how much heat passes through the walls of the container?

Respuesta :

Answer:

18kcal

Explanation:

Melting enthalpy of water: 80 cal/g

The melting enthalpy discribes how much heat is needed to melt a substance. So you get the heat by multiplying the mass of your substance with its melting enthalpy.

225g*18cal/g=18000cal=18kcal
