Calculate the heat required to convert $3 \; kg$ of ice at $-12 \; ^{\circ}C$ kept in a calorimeter to steam at $100 \; ^{\circ}C$ at atmospheric pressure. Given: specific heat capacity of ice $= 2100 \; J \; kg^{-1} \; K^{-1}$,specific heat capacity of water $= 4186 \; J \; kg^{-1} \; K^{-1}$,latent heat of fusion of ice $= 3.35 \times 10^{5} \; J \; kg^{-1}$,and latent heat of steam $= 2.256 \times 10^{6} \; J \; kg^{-1}$.

  • A
    $9.1 \times 10^{6} \; J$
  • B
    $2.4 \times 10^{4} \; J$
  • C
    $6.2 \times 10^{5} \; J$
  • D
    $8.6 \times 10^{7} \; J$

Which of the following is correct?

$A$ sphere of ice at $0^{\circ}C$ having initial radius $R$ is placed in an environment having ambient temperature $> 0^{\circ}C$. The ice melts uniformly,such that the shape remains spherical. After a time $t$,the radius of the sphere has reduced to $r$. Assuming the rate of heat absorption is proportional to the surface area of the sphere at any moment,which graph best depicts $r(t)$?
