252 micro coulombs of charge is transferred between two points having a potential difference of 109 volt during an electric discharge. What mass of ice $\left( {at\,{\rm{ }}{0^0}C} \right)$ would it melt if all the energy released could be used for the above purpose? (take mechanical equivalent of heat as 4.2 joule/calorie and latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal/gm)

252 micro coulombs of charge is transferred between two points having a potential difference of 109 volt during an electric discharge. What mass of ice

\left( {at\,\mathrm{ }{0^0}C} \right)

would it melt if all the energy released could be used for the above purpose? (take mechanical equivalent of heat as 4.2 joule/calorie and latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal/gm)

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

0.75 kg

Option B (0.75 kg) is correct because the energy released during the electric discharge is used to melt the ice, and the mass of ice melted can be calculated using the latent heat of fusion.
