how many joules of energy are required to change 10 gram of ice at -2 c to water at 20 c? 440 j 10,140 j…

Explanation:

Step1: Heat up ice to 0°C

Use the formula $Q = mc\Delta T$, where $m = 10\ g$, $c = 2\ J/g^{\circ}C$ (specific - heat capacity of ice), and $\Delta T=0 - (- 2)=2^{\circ}C$. So $Q_1=10\times2\times2 = 40\ J$.

Step2: Melt the ice

Use the formula $Q = mL_f$, where $m = 10\ g$ and $L_f = 300\ J/g$ (heat of fusion of ice). So $Q_2=10\times300 = 3000\ J$.

Step3: Heat up water from 0°C to 20°C

Use the formula $Q = mc\Delta T$, where $m = 10\ g$, $c = 4\ J/g^{\circ}C$ (specific - heat capacity of water), and $\Delta T = 20 - 0=20^{\circ}C$. So $Q_3=10\times4\times20 = 800\ J$.

Step4: Calculate total energy

$Q_{total}=Q_1 + Q_2+Q_3=40 + 3000+800=3840\ J$. However, there seems to be an error in the reference answer options. If we assume some data - entry or calculation errors in the problem - setup, and re - calculate with more common values: For heating ice from $-2^{\circ}C$ to $0^{\circ}C$: $Q_1 = m\times c_{ice}\times\Delta T=10\times2\times2 = 40\ J$. For melting ice: $Q_2=m\times L_f = 10\times334=3340\ J$ (approximate heat of fusion of ice is 334 J/g). For heating water from $0^{\circ}C$ to $20^{\circ}C$: $Q_3=m\times c_{water}\times\Delta T=10\times4.2\times20 = 840\ J$. $Q_{total}=40 + 3340+840=4220\ J$. Still, no match. Let's recalculate with the values given in the table strictly. $Q_1 = 10\times2\times2=40\ J$ (heating ice to 0°C) $Q_2 = 10\times300 = 3000\ J$ (melting ice) $Q_3=10\times4\times20 = 800\ J$ (heating water from 0°C to 20°C) $Q_{total}=40+3000 + 800=3840\ J$. But if we assume a more standard value for heat of fusion of ice ($334\ J/g$) and recalculate:

Step1: Heat up ice to 0°C

$Q_1=m\times c_{ice}\times\Delta T=10\times2\times2 = 40\ J$

Step2: Melt the ice

$Q_2=m\times L_f=10\times334 = 3340\ J$

Step3: Heat up water from 0°C to 20°C

$Q_3=m\times c_{water}\times\Delta T=10\times4\times20=800\ J$ $Q_{total}=40 + 3340+800=4180\ J$. There is still a mismatch with the options. If we assume the heat of fusion value in the table is correct: $Q_1 = 10\times2\times2=40\ J$ $Q_2 = 10\times300=3000\ J$ $Q_3=10\times4\times20 = 800\ J$ $Q_{total}=40+3000 + 800=3840\ J$. If we consider the closest value among the options, we note that there may be some rounding or data - related issues in the problem.

Answer:

There is an issue with the problem as the calculated value does not match the options. But if we have to choose the closest, we might consider the steps as above and note that the closest value to our non - matching calculation is 440 J (although it is still not correct based on the proper physics calculations). But if we assume some errors in the problem - setup or options, and go with the closest value among the given ones, we would choose A. 440 J.
