Specific heat of ice in #"J/kg K"#?
1 Answer
Explanation:
Your starting point here will be the specific heat of ice expressed in joules per gram Kelvin,
#c_"ice" = "2.06 J g"^(-1)"K"^(-1)#
This tells you that in order to increase the temperature of
Your goal here is to determine the specific heat of ice in joules per kilogram Kelvin,
The conversion factor that takes you from grams to kilograms is
#color(purple)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)("1 kg" = 10^3"g")color(white)(a/a)|)))#
You can use this conversion factor to get
#2.06"J"/(color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g"))) * "K") * (10^3color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g"))))/("1 kg") = color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(2.06 * 10^3color(white)(a) "J kg"^(-1)"K"^(-1))color(white)(a/a)|)))#
So, in order to increase the temperature of
#2.06 * 10^3"J" = "2060 J"#
