Energy to freeze : 10020 J
Further explanation
Given
mass of H₂O = 30 g
Required
Energy to freeze
Solution
Reaction
H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂O(s)
The heat to change the phase can be formulated :
Q = mLf (melting/freezing)
Lf = latent heat of fusion (for water/ice = 334 J/g)
Then heat to freeze :
[tex]\tt Q= 30\times 334=10020~J[/tex]
