0.5kg of water at 10oC is completely converted to ice by extracting 188000J of heat from it. If the specific heat capacity of water is 4200J kg-1C-1, calculate the specific latent heat of fusion of ice.
A
9.0 KJ kg-1
B
84.0 KJ kg-1
C
168.0 KJ kg-1
D
334.0 KJ kg-1
E
336.0 KJ kg-1
Verified Correct Answer: D.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Q = mcΔθ = (0.5 x 4200 x 10) + 0.5L
L = 334000
