4 kg of ice at 0 degrees Celsius is converted to steam at 100 degrees Celsius How much heat is needed?

It takes 80 calories per gram to increase the temperature of water by one degree. 4000 * 80 * 100 = 32000000 calories.


The water boils at what temperature?

100 Celsius or 212 Fahrenheit at sea level. As you go higher, the temperature drops as less force is needed to counter act air pressure. At 5000 feet above sea level (1524 meters) the temperatures are 95 C and 203 F.


What temperature is needed to decompose lithium carbonate?

At 1,300 degrees Celsius, lithium carbonate decomposes into lithium oxide and carbon dioxide gas. The equation for this decomposition is: Li2CO3 --> Li2O + CO2


How many calories are needed to vaporize 1 gram of boiling water at 100 degrees?

540 calories are needed to turn one gram of water at 100 degrees celsius to steam.


What does it mean to say that the specific heat capacity of water is greater than that of iron?

Heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of an element (a given mass) by a temperature unit.Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of heat in Joulesneeded to heat 1kg of an element by 1 degree Kelvin.Joules per Kilogram KelvinIf the SHC of water is higher than that of iron, it means, you need more heat to increase the temperature of 1kg of water in 1 degree Celsius, than the heat you need to increase the temperature in 1 degree Celsius of the same mass of iron.P.S.A Celsius temperature difference is the same as a Kelvin temperature difference. In measuring SHC, we only need to focus on temperature difference rather than the temperature value. Add 273.15 to the Celsius measurement of the temperature to get the Kelvin temperature value.
