Answer

The amount of heat energy in these processes is equal to 30300J

Work Step by Step

1. Identify each process. a. Melting of 50.0 g of ice at $0^{\circ}C$. b. Warm the liquid to $65.0 ^oC$. 2. Find the conversion factors and formulas: a. Heat of Fusion (Water): $\frac{334J}{1g}$ and $\frac{1g}{334J}$. b. Specific heat (SH) (Water): $\frac{4.184J}{g^{\circ}C}$ $Heat = mass(g) \times \Delta T \times SH$ 3. Calculate the energy in each process. a. $50.0g \times \frac{334J}{1g} = 16700J$ b. $\Delta T = 65.0 ^o C - 0^oC = 65.0^o C$ $Heat = 50.0g \times 65.0 ^o C \times \frac{4.184J}{g^{\circ}C} = 13598J$ 4. Sum these values to get the total heat. $16700J + 13598J = 30298J$ 5. Adjust the number of significant figures. Data with lowest number of SF's : 50.0 g
