Let's knock this out. Step 1: Calculate the heat required to melt 10 g of ice at 0^ to water at 0^. The formula for heat absorbed during a phase change (melting) is Q_1 = mL_f. Given: Mass (m) = 10 g Latent heat of fusion (L_f) = 336 J/g Q_1 = (10 g) × (336 J/g) Q_1 = 3360 J Step 2: Calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of 10 g of water from 0^ to 10^. The formula for heat absorbed during a temperature change is Q_2 = mc_w T. Given: Mass (m) = 10 g Specific heat capacity of water (c_w) = 4.2 J/g K (or J/g ^) Change in temperature ( T) = 10^ - 0^ = 10^ Q_2 = (10 g) × (4.2 J/g ^) × (10 ^) Q_2 = 420 J Step 3: Calculate the total heat required. The total heat (Q_total) is the sum of the heat required for melting and the heat required for temperature increase. Q_total = Q_1 + Q_2 Q_total = 3360 J + 420 J Q_total = 3780 J The correct option is C. C. 3780 J Got more? Send 'em!
