What amount of heat will be released during crystallization of 100 g of water at 0 degrees Celsius?

We need to find how much heat will be released during the crystallization of 100 grams of water at a temperature of 0 ° Celsius.

Let’s start by writing down the mass in kilograms:

m = 100 grams = 0.1 kg.

We also need to remember the value of the specific heat of crystallization of water:

λ = 330 kJ / kg = 3.3 * 10 ^ 5 J / kg.

To calculate the amount of heat that is released during the crystallization of 100 grams of water, we use the formula:

Q = m * λ;

Substitute values and perform calculations:

Q = 0.1 * 3.3 * 10 ^ 5 = 3.3 * 10 ^ 4 J = 33 kJ.
