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.

Question
A British thermal unit (Btu) is a unit of heat in the British system of units. One Btu is defined as the heat needed to raise 1 lb of water by \(1 \ \mathrm {F}^\circ\). Show that
1 Btu = 0.252 kcal = 1055 J.
Solution
The first step in solving 14 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A British thermal unit (Btu) is a unit of heat in the British system of units. One Btu is defined as the heat needed to raise 1 lb of water by \(1 \ \mathrm {F}^\circ\). Show that 1 Btu = 0.252 kcal = 1055 J.
From the textbook chapter Electromagnetic Induction and Faraday's Law you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
