Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A 3 kg block of ice melts completely to water at 0°C. Calculate the heat energy absorbed using a latent heat of fusion of 334,000 J/kg.
💡 Hint: Focus on applying the fusion formula.
If you have 2 liters of water that need to be converted to steam at 100°C, calculate the amount of heat required using a latent heat of vaporization of 2,260,000 J/kg.
💡 Hint: Ensure unit conversions are accurate.
