Which container will take more heat to get to room temperature?
Container (a)
Container (b)
Specfic heat capacity of water = 4,200 J
Latent heat of fusion for ice = 336,000 J
Remember:
Amount of heat needed to change the temperature = Specfic heat capacity x mass x change in termperaure
Latent Heat = Latent heat of fusion x mass
