Heat required : 4.8 kJ

The heat to change the phase can be formulated :

Q = mLf (melting/freezing)

Q = mLv (vaporization/condensation)

Lf=latent heat of fusion

Lv=latent heat of vaporization

The heat needed to raise the temperature

Q = m . c . Δt

1. heat to raise temperature from -20 °C to 0 °C

[tex]\tt Q=10\times 2.09\times (0-(-20)=418~J[/tex]

2. phase change(ice to water)

[tex]\tt Q=10\times 333=3330~J[/tex]

3. heat to raise temperature from 0 °C to 25 °C

[tex]\tt Q=10\times 4.18\times (25-0)=1045~J[/tex]

[tex]\tt Q~tot=418+3330+1045=4793~J\rightarrow rounding~and~2~sig~figs=4.8~kJ[/tex]
