A 6.0 g ice cube at -10C is in a rigid, sealed

A 6.0 g ice cube at -10C is in a rigid, sealed container from which all the air has been evacuated (which means you only have to consider the ice cube). Steam has cy = 1500 J/kg. K. . Notice that this is lower case cy with units of J/kg K and that means it's NOT the molar specific heat. You will want to use Q = mcyAT when considering any heat transfer for the steam. Part A How much heat is required to change this ice cube into steam at 160C? HINT: Think about how many different thermodynamic processes (and Qs) take place when you start with ice below the melting point, and end with ste (gas) above the boiling point. Make sure to account for every step and every heat transfer. Express your answer with the appropriate units. H Q=27197.5 J Submit Previous Answers Request Answer
