The heater supplies energy at a rate of 98 joules per s econd. 4a) After an interval of 30 s, all the ice has reached a temperature of 0C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of ice. 4b)Show that the final temperature of the water formed when the heater is left o n for a further 500 s is about 40C. specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg 1K 1 specific latent heat of fusion of water = 3.3 105J kg 1 4c) The whole procedure is repeated in an uninsulated container in a room at a temperature of 25C. State and explain whether the final temperature of the water formed would be higher or lower than that calculated It's a bit of a dodgy question but the basic thing is that as the container is u ninsulated, therefore heat transfer will happen a lot quicker (between container and room). As the room (25) is significantly hotter than the container (-14), t hermal energy will be transferred to the container from the room (as well as the heater) hence increasing its temperature from -14 more rapidly than when it was insulated. (that's what the mark scheme wants) However when the temperature of the container reaches 25 degrees there is nothin g stopping heat from the container being transferred to the surroundings as no i nsulation is present. You could then argue that (depending on the size of the ro om) the container will struggle to rise above 25 degrees as any thermal energy g

ained from the heater is simply transferred again to the surroundings.
