The graph shows water being heated from ice at −18 °C until it becomes a gas at a temperature above 100 °C. Explain why the specific heat equation, E = m * c *Δθ, is not enough to determine the total energy required to convert the block of ice to steam.

3.1 × 10⁷ J

Explanation:

The total heat required is the sum of the heats required in each stage.

1) Solid: from -60°C to 0°C.

Q₁ = c(s) × m × ΔT = (2090 J/kg.°C) × 10 kg × (0°C - (-60°C)) = 1.3 × 10⁶ J

where,

c(s): specific heat of the solid

m: mass

ΔT: change in the temperature

2) Solid to liquid at 0°C

Q₂ = Qf × m = (3.3 × 10⁵ J/kg) × 10 kg = 3.3 × 10⁶ J

where,

Qf: latent heat of fusion

3) Liquid: from 0°C to 100°C

Q₃ = c(l) × m × ΔT = (4186J/kg.°C) × 10 kg × (100°C - 0°C) = 4.2 × 10⁶ J

where,

c(l): specific heat of the liquid

4) Liquid to gas at 100 °C

Q₄ = Qv × m = (2.26 × 10⁶ J/kg) × 10 kg = 2.26 × 10⁷ J

where,

Qv: latent heat of vaporization

Total heat

Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃ + Q₄

1.3 × 10⁶ J + 3.3 × 10⁶ J + 4.2 × 10⁶ J + 2.26 × 10⁷ J = 3.1 × 10⁷ J

with the invention of the automobile, the woman of the house could drive to the store and get groceries. women were also free to socialize more. during world war ii women were allowed to work in factories to the war effort and could drive to work or ride mass transit buses to their jobs.
