If 5 kg of ice at -10°C is heated until it completely melts and the water reaches 0°C, what amount of heat is needed? (Use the specific heat of ice = 2,090 J/kg·°C, Lf = 334,000 J/kg).
💡 Hint: Calculate heat for both heating the ice and then melting it.
Explain how a cooling curve graphically represents the change in temperature during phase transitions and what it can tell us about energy transfer.
💡 Hint: Examine the graph’s sections where the temperature remains constant.
