FLA 05: Latent Heat

Answer the following questions on the spaces provided. Use the tables on Lesson
14 for values of specific heat capacity and specific latent heat capacity. Show your
complete solution.

1. What is latent heat?


 Amount of heat required to change the state of unit mass of
substance from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas at constant
temp.

2. Find the energy required to melt 2.5 kg of gold at its melting point.
Solution:

Q = mL
Q = 2.5kg x 64, 400 J/kg
Q = 161 000 J
- It needs 161 000 J to melt 2.5kg of gold.

3. Copper has a melting point of 1083°C. Find the energy required to


completely melt 200g of copper originally at room temperature of 22°C.
Solution:
Q = Q1 + Q2
Q = mcΔT + mLf
Q = 0.20kg x 387 J/kg ˚C x 1061 ˚C + 0.20kg x 134 000J/kg
Q = 82 121.4 J + 26 800 J
Q = 108 921.4 J
- The energy required to completely melt 200g of copper is 108 921.4J.
4. A child wanting to make a cordial ice block, places 200g of cordial at 25°C
in the freezer. If the freezer can remove energy at the rate of 250 joules
per second, what time will it take for the cordial to freeze?
(Assume the specific latent heat and specific heat capacity of cordial
are the same as water.)
Solution:
Q = Q1 + Q2 ÷ 250 J/s
Q = mcΔT + mLf
Q = 0.20kg x 4 186 J/kg˚C x 25˚C + 0.20kg x 333 000 J/kg
Q = 20 930 J + 66 600 J = 87 530
Q = 87 530 J ÷ 250 J/s
= 350.12 s or 5.84 min.
- It takes 350.12 s or 5.84 min. for a cordial to freeze.

5. Two solid ice blocks of mass 20g each at 0°C are placed in 500g of water at
40°C. What will be the final temperature of the mixture when both ice
cubes have melted? (Assume no heat is lost to the container or the
surroundings.
Solution:
(mcΔT + mL) + mcΔT = mcΔT

Q = mcΔT
Q = 0.5kg x 4186 J/kg˚C x 40 ˚C = 83 720 J
Q = 0.040kg x 2090 J/kg˚C = 83.6 J

(0.040kg x 2090 J/kg˚C + 0.040kg x 333 000 J/kg) + 0.040kg x 4186 J/ kg˚C x
(Tf) = 0.5kg x 4186 J/kg˚C x (40˚C – Tf)
= 83.6 J + 13 320 J + 167.44 Tf = 83 720 J – 2093 Tf
= 2093 Tf + 167.44 Tf = 70 316.4 J
= 2 260.44 Tf = 70 316.4 J
= 31. 11˚C Tf
- 31. 11˚C is the final temperature of the mixture.
