How much thermal energy is absorbed by 1.00X102 g of ice at -20.0°C to become
water at 0.0°C?

4202.4 J

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the heat absorbed by ice to melt into water is given by :

ΔH = Cp × m × Δ T   where ;

Cp =specific heat of ice = 2.06 J/g° C

m= mass of ice = 102 g

ΔT = 0°C--20°C = 20°C

Thermal energy absorbed by the ice will be;

ΔH = Cp × m × Δ T  

ΔH = 2.06 * 102 * 20

ΔH =4202.4 J

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
