Heat required to convert 1 gm of ice at 0 0 C into steam at 100 0 C is -
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
Given, Mass of ice to be converted into steam 
Temperature of ice
The heat required to convert ice at
into the water at
is given as:
Mass of ice
Latent heat of fusion of ice
Latent heat of fusion of ice
Therefore,
Heat required to convert ice at
into water at
Now, the water at
has to be first heated to
to be changed into steam.
The heat required to raise the temperature of water from
to
is given as:
Mass of water
Increase in temperature
Specific heat of water
Mass of water is the same as the mass of ice, which is equal to 1 g .
The increase in temperature of water
Specific heat of water
Putting all the required values, the heat required to raise the temperature of water

After this, further, some heat is required to be supplied to convert the water at
to steam at the same temperature.
The heat required to convert water into steam
Mass of water
Latent heat of steam
Mass of water
The latent heat of steam is given as
.
Therefore, the heat required 
Now, the total heat required to convert ice to steam
Heat required to convert ice into water + Heat required to raise the temperature to
Heat required to convert water into steam

Therefore, the heat required to convert ice at
into steam at
is equal to 716 cal.
