For people getting lost in arctic regions two main considerations are not to dehydrate and not to use
too much energy. A general recommendation is not to use ice to cover the water intake. In the
following we will examine if this is a relevant consideration.
How large a percentage of the daily energy intake will be used for heating 2 kg of ice from – 30 °C
to water at a final temperature of 37 °C?

The heat capacity of ice is 2.1 J/(g ∙ K), the heat capacity of water 4.2 J/(g ∙ K), the heat of fusion
333.5 J/g and the average daily energy intake 10000 kJ.

A ≈ 0.1 %
B ≈ 1.0 %
C ≈ 10.0 %
D ≈ 100 %
E ≈ 1000 %

SO3 can be formed through a reaction between SO2 and O2. Below are given 3 different reaction
schemes for the same reaction:
