Homework Statement
A 0.2 kg block of ice at -15*C is placed into a pan on a stove, heated to a liquid, and then to vapour with a final temperature of 115*C. Calculate the total amount of heat required for this process.
Homework Equations
Eh = mc(t2 - t1)
Lf (or Lv) = Eh / m
The Attempt at a Solution
Etotal = Emelting + Evapourization
Emelting = mct
= (0.2kg)(4.2x10^3)(0+15*C)
= 12 600 J
Evapourization = mct
= (0.2kg)(4.2x10^3)(115-0*C)
= 96 600 J
Etotal = 12600 + 96 600J
= 109 200 J or 1.1 x 10^5
What am i doing wrong? The answer is 6.2 x 10^5 J.
