An inverse carnot cooling device extracts heat from a freezer compartment that has a temperature of -10. ° C and gives off that heat to the air in a living room with a temperature of 18. ° C. How much work does the refrigerator need to do to convert .24 kg of water at 18 ° C to ice at -10. ° C? (For data see tables in the ppt about calorimetry). Select the correct answer from the following list:

a) .567e4 J

b) 10.2 kJ

c) 11.0 kJ

d) .597e4 J
