Problem 24P A 30-g ice cube at its melting point is dropped into an insulated container of liquid nitrogen. How much nitrogen evaporates if it is at its boiling point of 77 K and has a latent heat of vaporization of 200kJ/kg? Assume for simplicity that the specific heat of ice is a constant and is equal to its value near its melting point.
