A 500g ice cube at -10°C is placed in a hot water bath at 70°C. Calculate the total heat energy required to melt the ice and then raise the temperature of the resulting water to 25°C. Given that the latent heat of fusion for ice is 334000 J/kg, and the specific heat capacity of water is 4184 J/kg·K.
💡 Hint: Break down each step carefully, remembering to convert grams into kilograms.
Discuss how the greenhouse effect relates to latent heats in meteorological phenomena like fog or rain.
💡 Hint: Connect the concepts of heat absorption and release with real-life weather events.
