Calculate the heat required to convert 3 kg of ice at -10 °C to water at 0 °C (specific heat of ice = 2100 J/kg·K).
💡 Hint: Start with temperature change, followed by phase change.
If 1 kg of water at 0 °C absorbs 2,000 J of energy, what is the final temperature of the water assuming no phase change? (Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg·K)
💡 Hint: Calculate the temperature change using the energy absorbed.
