Question 16
A mass of ice at −50 °C is heated slowly until it melts, becomes liquid, and ultimately steam, at 140 °C. Assuming no mass loss during heating, at what stage of the process is the system requiring the most amount of heat?
Assume constant heat capacities: c(ice)=2.108 kJ/kg K, c(water)=4.187 kJ/kg K, c(steam)=1.99 kJ/kg K.
Other printed constants: ΔH(fus)=334 kJ/kg, ΔH(fus)=334 kJ/kg, ΔH(vap)=2260 J/g.
