It takes 970.4 BTUs to convert 1 lb of water at 212°F to 1 lb of steam at 212°F. This process is known as the latent heat of vaporization.
To change 10 pounds of ice at 20 degrees Fahrenheit to steam at 220 degrees Fahrenheit, you need to supply enough energy to first melt the ice, then heat the water to the boiling point, and finally convert it to steam. This process requires approximately 180 BTUs per pound of ice to melt it, 180 BTUs per pound of water to heat it to the boiling point, and then 970 BTUs per pound of water to convert it to steam. So, for 10 pounds of ice, the total BTUs required would be around 18,300 BTUs.
It takes 180 BTUs to raise 1 pound of water from 32 degrees Fahrenheit to 212 degrees Fahrenheit to convert it completely into steam. This change in temperature includes heating the water from its freezing point to boiling point, then undergoing phase change from liquid to gas.
It takes approximately 970 BTUs to convert one pound of water at 212°F (100°C) to steam at the same temperature.
To change 5 pounds of ice at 20°F to steam at 220°F, you will need to go through multiple phases: raise ice temperature to 32°F, melt ice to water at 32°F, raise water temperature to 212°F, and then convert water to steam at 212°F to steam at 220°F. The total heat required, in BTUs, is around 503 BTUs per pound of ice, which translates to about 2515 BTUs for 5 pounds of ice.
One pound of steam at 212 degrees Fahrenheit contains 1150 BTUs of energy.

1)This is a 5 part question. The first is realizing that 20F to 32F uses .5BTU per pound per degree. That means it takes 32-20=12*.5=6BTUs to get the ice to 32F. 2)Then you need to know the Latent Heat of Fusion for Ice which is 144BTUs (given). Lets assumes the ice changes from ice to water instantaneously at 32F. 3)Next we calculate the BTUs from 32F to 212F. Which is 1BTU per pound per degree F. 212-32=180 so it take 180BTUS. 4)Next we have to use the Latent Heat of Vaporization of water which will say instantaneously converts water to vapor. This takes 970BTUS (given). 5)Then we calculate the BTUS from 212F to 220F. Which is .5BTUs per pound per degree F which is 220-212=8*.5=4BTUs...... Finally add up all the BTUs and you get 6+144+180+970+4=1304BTUs.
It takes approximately 144 BTUs to change one pound of ice at 20°F to water at 212°F, and an additional 970 BTUs to change the water to steam at 220°F, for a total of 1114 BTUs.
To change 1 gram of ice at 22 degrees Fahrenheit to steam at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, you would need approximately 1064.73 BTUs. This calculation takes into account the energy required to melt the ice, heat the water, and then boil it to steam.
That will completely depend on how much water there is.
To calculate the BTUs required to raise the temperature of 15 pounds of water, you can use the formula: BTUs = Weight of water in pounds × Temperature change in degrees Fahrenheit × 1 BTU So, the calculation would be: BTUs = 15 lbs × (130°F - 100°F) × 1 BTU = 15 lbs × 30°F = 450 BTUs.
Well, honey, to change ice at 20 degrees F to steam at 220 degrees F, you'd need to go through a whole rollercoaster of phase changes. It takes 144 BTUs to melt one pound of ice, and 970 BTUs to turn one pound of water into steam. So, for five pounds of ice, you're looking at a total of 7,070 BTUs to go from ice to steam. Hope that helps, sugar!
