Would ice (H20) exist at 25 degrees celsius (atmospheric pressure). I have this weird problem; it's practically asking me to add heat to an ice at 25 degrees celsius until it vaporizes to 135 degrees celsius. I have an idea on how to solve this kind of problem, I'm just not sure if ice would exist in 25 degrees celsius.

no

water freezes at 0 C.

anonymous · Answer

You have to put in the latent heat of fusion in order to melt the ice completely.  However the water would then be at 0 C. Then you have to heat to 25 C.

anonymous · Answer

For ice to exist at  25 C those are not normal conditions.  The pressure would have to be way below atmospheric.

Well, the question goes like this: If 8000cal of heat is needed to change the temperature of a certain amount of ice at 25 degrees celsius to steam at 135 degrees celsius, determine the mass of ice. Of course, there are data about heat of fusion and vaporization, and the specific heats. The information about the pressure is not explicitly stated, so I guess I'll just answer this with the available data.

yeah, that would have to be a lot of ice.  Like a block of ice. for that to happen.
