"39,800 J"39,800 J

Explanation:

The idea here is that you need to calculate how much heat is required in order to

  • convert your sample of ice at -35^@"C"35C to ice at 0^@"C"0C
  • convert the ice at 0^@"C"0C to liquid water at 0^@"C"0C

In order to be able to calculate the heat required in both cases, you need to know the specific heat of ice and the heat of fusion of water

c_"ice" = "2.06 J g"^(-1)""^@"C"^(-1)cice=2.06 J g1C1

DeltaH_"fus" = "334.16 J g"^(-1)

So, a substance's specific heat tells you how much heat is needed in order to increase the temperature of "1 g" of that substance by 1^@"C".

In this case, ice has a specific heat of "2.06 J g"^(-1)""^@"C"^(-1), which means that in order to increase the temperature of "1 g" of ice by 1^@"C", you need to provide it with "2.06 J" of heat.

Your tool of choice here will be this equation

color(blue)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)q = m * c * DeltaTcolor(white)(a/a)|)))" ", where

q - the amount of heat gained
m - the mass of the sample
c - the specific heat of the substance
DeltaT - the change in temperature, defined as the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature

In your case, you have a change in temperature of

DeltaT = 0^@"C" - (-35^@"C") = 35^@"C"

Plug in your values to find

q_1 = 98.0 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g"))) * "2.06 J" color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g"^(-1)))) color(red)(cancel(color(black)(""^@"C"^(-1)))) * 35color(red)(cancel(color(black)(""^@"C")))

q_1 = "7,065.8 J"

Now, adding this much heat to "98.0 g" of ice at -35^@"C" will get you ice at 0^@"C". In order to melt the ice, you must provide it with enough heat to allow it to undergo a solid -> liquid phase change.

The heat of fusions, DeltaH_"fus", tells you how much heat must be added per gram of solid ice at 0^@"C" in order to convert it to liquid water at 0^@"C".

Since you have "98.0 g" of ice at 0^@"C", you will need

98.0 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g"))) * overbrace("334.16 J"/(1color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g")))))^(color(blue)(=DeltaH_"fus")) = "32,748 J"

The total amount of heat needed to get your sample from ice at -35^@"C" to liquid water at 0^@"C" will thus be

q_"total" = "7,065.8 J" + "32,748 J"

q_"total" = "39,814 J"

I'll leave the answer rounded to three sig figs

"the amount of heat needed" = color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)("39,800 J")color(white)(a/a)|)))
