0.5kg of water at 10oC is completely converted to ice by extracting 188000J of heat from it. If the specific heat capacity of water is 4200J kg-1C-1, calculate the specific latent heat of fusion of ice.

A.

9.0 KJ kg-1

B.

84.0 KJ kg-1

C.

168.0 KJ kg-1

D.

334.0 KJ kg-1

E.

336.0 KJ kg-1

Correct answer is D

Q = mcΔθ = (0.5 x 4200 x 10) + 0.5L
L = 334000
