Question 18

A cup containing 100g of pure water at 20°C is placed in a refrigerator. If the refrigerator extracts heat at a rate of 840J per minute, calculate the time taken for the water to freeze. Neglect the heat capacity of the material of the cup. (Specific heat capacity of water =4.2J\(g^{-1}K^{-2}\))((Specific latent heat fusion of water =336J\(g^{-1}\)
