Describe the process that ice on Mount Everest undergoes when heated from 10°F to 305 Kelvin.
Answer (2)
water melts at 32 F and boils at 212 F if we change these values into Kelvin then melting point of water is 273.15 K and boiling point is 373.15 kelvin.. for melting it is necessary for ice to get warm so it attains heat 10 F to 32 F... then ice melts but during this temperature remains constant.. the energy required for melting is 333 kJ/Kg K then water is warmed at 305 Kelvin.... :)
The process of heating ice on Mount Everest involves converting the temperature from 10°F to 305 Kelvin, heating the ice to its melting point, melting the ice at constant temperature, and then heating the resulting water to the desired temperature. The specific heat and latent heat of fusion play crucial roles in this process. Overall, it illustrates key concepts in chemistry related to temperature changes and phase transitions.
