How much heat must be transferred for 10 g of liquid water at 0°C to become ice? Is it absorbed or released?

80 calories released

80 calories absorbed

800 calories absorbed

800 calories released

Option (d) is correct. 800 calories of heat is released.

Explanation:

The formula for the heat is given by

Q = m L

Q = heat energy

m = mass = 10 g

L = latent heat of fusion=80 cal/gram

so Heat energy = Q = 10 (80) = 800 cal

the heat energy is released.

so 800 calories of heat is released.
