melts or freezes.

gram of ice at 0°C to convert it to water at 0°C

particles. (Break bonds)

Calculating Energy
We are going to heat a container that has 72 grams of ice (no

liquid water yet!) in it. To make the illustration simple, please
consider that 100% of the heat applied goes into the water. There
is no loss of heat into heating the container (That will come next)
and no heat is lost to the air.
Calculating Energy
Let us suppose the ice starts at -10.0ºC and we want to add

energy to end the example with steam at 120.0ºC.

There are five major steps to discuss in turn before this problem
is completely solved. Here they are:
Calculating Energy
1.  The ice rises in temperature from -10.0 to 0.00 ºC.

2.  The ice melts at 0.00 ºC (Phase Change)
3.  The liquid water then rises in temperature from zero to 100.0 ºC.
4.  The liquid water then boils at 100.0 ºC (Phase Change)
5.  The steam then rises in temperature from 100.0 to 120.0 ºC.

Each one of these steps will have an energy calculation associated
with it.
Calculating Energy
WARNING: many homework and test questions can be written which

use less than the five steps. For example, suppose the water in the
problem above started at 10.0 ºC. Then, only steps 3, 4, and 5 would be
required for solution.

Also, note that numbers 2 and 4 are phase changes: solid to liquid in
#2 and liquid to gas in #4.
Step 1: solid ice rises in temperature
•  As we apply heat, the ice will rise in temperature until it arrives at

its normal melting point of zero Celsius.
•  Once it arrives at zero, the Δt equals 10 ºC. Δt = (TF-TI)
•  Here is an important point: THE ICE HAS NOT MELTED YET.
•  At the end of this step we have SOLID ice at zero degrees. It has
not melted yet. That's an important point.
•  Since ice is different substance than water, a different specific heat
value is needed.
Step 1: solid ice rises in temperature
Energy Calculation
The calculation needed is used with the formula:
Q1 = m C Δt : Δt = (TF-TI)

Q1 = (72 g) (2.22 J/g ºC) (0 ºC -( -10 ºC ) )
So we calculate and get 1,598.4 J.
This is the energy to raise 72 g of ice from -10 ºC to 0 ºC

Step 2: solid ice melts (phase change)
•  Now, we continue to add energy and the ice begins to melt.

•  However, the temperature DOES NOT CHANGE. It remains at zero
during the time the ice melts.
•  During this time, the energy is being used to overcome water
molecules' attraction for each other, destroying the three-
dimensional structure of the ice.
•  Energy calculation is the "heat of fusion"
Step 2: solid ice melts (phase change)
Energy Calculation
Q 2 = m LF

Q2 = (72 g) (334 J/g)
So we calculate and get 24,048 J.
This is the energy required to melt 72 grams of ice.

Step 3: liquid water rises in temperature
•  Once the ice is totally melted, the temperature can now begin to rise
again.
•  It continues to go up until it reaches its normal boiling point of 100 ºC.
•  Since the temperature went from zero to 100, the Δt is 100. Δt = (TF-TI)
•  Here is an important point: THE LIQUID HAS NOT BOILED YET.
•  At the end of this step we have liquid water at 100 º. It has not turned
to steam yet.
Step 3: liquid water rises in temperature
Energy Calculation

Q3 = (72 g) (4.19 J/g ºC) ( 100ºC – 0ºC )
This is the energy required to raise 72 g of ice from 0º to 100º

Step 4: liquid water boils (Phase Change)
•  Now, we continue to add energy and the water begins to boil.

•  However, the temperature DOES NOT CHANGE. It remains at 100
during the time the water boils.
•  During this time, the energy is being used to overcome water
molecules' attraction for each other, allowing them to move from
close together (liquid) to quite far apart (the gas state).
•  Energy calculation is the "heat of vaporization"
Step 4: liquid water boils (Phase Change)
Energy Calculation
Q4 = m Lv

Q4 = (72 g) (2,260 J/g)
This is the energy required to boil 72 grams of water.

Step 5: steam rises in temperature
•  Once the water is completely changed to steam, the temperature can

now begin to rise again.
•  It continues to go up until we stop adding energy. In this case, let the
temperature rise to 120 ºC.
•  Since the temperature went from 100º to 120º, the Δt is 20º. Δt = (TF-TI)
•  Since steam is different substance than water, a different specific heat
value is needed.
Step 5: steam rises in temperature
Energy Calculation

Q5 = (72 g) (2.01 J/g ºC) ( 120ºC - 100ºC )
So we calculate and get 2,894.4 J
This is the energy required to raise 72 g of steam from 100ºC to 120ºC

Final Step: Add all energy calculations together.
72.0 grams of ice has changed from -10.0 ºC to 120.0 ºC. The energy
calculation for this change required five steps .
The following table summarizes the five steps and their results. Each
step number is a link back to the explanation of the calculation.

Step Description Q Energy

1 -10º to 0º (ice) Q1 1,598.4 J

3 0º to 100º (water) Q3 30,168 J
4 Boiling (phase change) Q4 162,720 J
5 100º to 120º (steam) Q5 2,894.4 J

Total Energy (QTOTAL) = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 + Q5

Therefore it takes 221,428.8 J of energy to convert 72 grams of ice at
-10.0 ºC to 120.0 ºC
Example #1
Calculate the energy required to raise the temperature of 12
grams of water from 22 ºC to 105 ºC.
