Cp of ice is 10 J/^oC and that of water is 15 J/^oC, what is the enthalpy change of water from – 15^oC to 0^oC at standard conditions, if the later heat of fusion of water is 110 J?
(a) 150 J
(b) 315 J
(c) 485 J
(d) 560 J
The question was asked during an interview for a job.
Question is taken from Phase Transitions in section Introduction to Energy Balances for Processes without Reaction and Calculation of Enthalpy Changes of Basic Chemical Engineering
