Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

Heat required to convert 0ºC of ice into water = mL (L = Letent heat)

Now, heat required to rise the temperature of water from 0ºC to 100ºC.

= ms t

where s = specific heat, t = temperature rise

Total heat = mL + ms t

= 1 × 80 + 1 × 1 × (100 – 0)

= 180 cal
