Calculate the heat required to melt 5 kg of ice at 0°C to water at 0°C, given the latent heat of fusion of ice is 334,000 J/kg.
💡 Hint: Remember the melting process uses latent heat of fusion.
A gas with a volume of 0.1 m³ and pressure 200,000 Pa is heated, and its volume changes to 0.2 m³. Calculate the new pressure using the Ideal Gas Law if temperature remains constant.
💡 Hint: Isolate the pressure using the relationship of initial and final states.
