An electric heater rated at is used to convert of ice initially at completely into water at . Assuming zero thermal energy loss to the surroundings, what is the total time required for this conversion?
(Take specific heat capacity of ice = , specific latent heat of fusion of ice = , specific heat capacity of water = )

Cevap
The correct response of accurately accounts for all three distinct phases of thermal absorption: raising the temperature of solid ice from to (), melting the ice to water at constant temperature (), and raising the liquid water temperature to (). Dividing the total energy of by the heater power of yields .
