6.02 kJ>mol. When a small ice cube at -10°C is put into a cup of water at room temperature, which of the following plays a greater role in cooling the liquid water: the warming of the ice from -10°C to 0°C, or the melting of the ice?

Heat transfer during melting of ice plays greater role in cooling of liquid water.

Explanation:

Temperature of ice = -10 °c

Temperature of water = 0 °c

When ice cube is dipped in to the water.the heat transfer

Q = m c ΔT

⇒ Q = 1 × 2.01 × 10

⇒ Q = 20.1 KJ

Heat transfer during melting of ice = latent heat of ice

Latent heat of ice = 334 KJ

⇒ = 334 KJ

Heat transfer during melting of ice is greater value than heat transfer during warming of ice from -10°C to 0°C.

Thus heat transfer during melting of ice plays greater role in cooling of liquid water.
