How much heat would be required to melt 10cm of snow at 0 degrees C with the snow having a density of 0.1cm cubed per gram?

Answer 1

This would depend on the ambient air pressure. At lower pressures, your snow would already be in liquid state. At higher pressures, this would still need only a very small amount of heat energy. Also your question, as it's asked, would need to be answered in energy per unit of area, unless you actually meant to say 10 cubic cm of snow.

Answer 2

The heat required to melt snow can be calculated using the formula: Q = m*Lf, where Q is the heat energy, m is the mass of snow, and Lf is the latent heat of fusion for ice (334 J/g). We first need to calculate the mass of snow using the density information provided. The density of snow is 0.1 g/cm^3, so 10 cm^3 of snow would weigh 1 gram. Therefore, the heat required to melt 10cm of snow would be 334 Joules.

Answer 3

Well since a chocolate cookie has 26 calories in it i assume the answer is 26. Well since a chocolate cookie has 26 calories in it i assume the answer is 26.

Answer 4

Assuming that you mean 10cm³, dry snow would become around 1cm³ of water, and saturated snow would become around 3cm³ of water. This can vary based on the exact saturation of the snow.
