80 cal/gram of heat is required to be extracted from water at 0 degree temp. to convert into ice at 0 degree temp.

How much energy is gained by 3 grams of ice when it changes to water?

No energy is gained. On the contrary, energy is required to make ice melt.


Is ice melting an example of thermal energy?

Ummm . . . let's just say that thermal energy is used to melt ice.


What is energy and why do you need it?

Energy is work. It exists in all matter and is what makes everything move, grow, heat up, change phase, even light is energy. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. The use and existence of energy is what is making everything happen around you. Take for instance an ice cube. The ice has both potential (stored) energy and kinetic energy. Heat from other energy sources is melting the ice which is then releasing its stored energy to form water. The water is also evaporating at some point to form vapor. All of the phase changes are transfers of energy from the air into the ice or water. The ice has low energy and as more energy is absorbed it melts and then vaporizes. Water vapor has higher energy than ice through this process (which is known as convection). If you continue to add heat (energy) to the vapor it will become steam which has so much energy, it has been used for more than two centuries to drive turbines. When the steam hits the blades of the turbine it causes them to turn, there-by transferring its energy to the turbine and the steam becomes "weaker" or lower energy.


How much energy would be required to change 24.7 g of ice to liquid water?

8.25


Does mass must be lost to produce energy?

Energy isn't "destroyed" and mass isn't "created" Basically mass is a "form" of energy. Much like ice is a "form" of water. So while one could, kinda, say "ice is destroyed when it melts into water" it isn't exactly true (even though it is no longer ice).

Why does ice melting in your drink make your drink cooler?

Melting requires energy: the heat energy in your drink is used to melt the ice.

thermal energy


What type of energy is used when a hot spoon becomes in contact with ice cream and then it melts?

the thermal energy in the spoon comes in contact with the kinetic energy used to put the spoon in to the ice cream thus, melting the ice cream

What can changes energy?

Energy can change state of matter. Heat can be used to melt ice.


Why is energy absorbed when ice melts?

When an ice cube gains energy, it is the same as gaining heat. So if an ice cube is getting warmer, it melts.
