Question 54 of 126

An amount of ice of mass 10−3 kg10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg} and temperature −10∘C-10^{\circ} \mathrm{C} is transformed to vapour of temperature 110∘C110^{\circ} \mathrm{C} by applying heat. The total amount of work required for this conversion is, (Take, specific heat of ice =2100Jkg−1 K−1=2100 \mathrm{Jkg}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}, specific heat of water =4180Jkg−1 K−1=4180 \mathrm{Jkg}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}, specific heat of steam =1920Jkg−1 K−1=1920 \mathrm{Jkg}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}, Latent heat of ice =3.35×105Jkg−1=3.35 \times 10^5 \mathrm{Jkg}^{-1} and Latent heat of steam =2.25×106=2.25 \times 10^6 Jkg−1\mathrm{Jkg}^{-1} )
