specific heat capacity of ice = 2,000 J/kg-°C
latent heat of fusion of water = 334,000 J/kg
specific heat capacity of water = 4,000 J/kg-°C
-As the ice is melting,the temperature of the ice-water mixture rises by 10°C.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When ice melts, it absorbs heat without a rise in its temperature until it becomes water at 0°C. This is due to the latent heat of fusion of water. Therefore, the temperature of the ice-water mixture does not rise during the melting process until all the ice has melted. Once all the ice has melted, the temperature of the water can start rising with the application of further heat.

Specific Heat Capacity of Ice = 2,000 J/kg-°C
