How much heat must be added to a 8.0 kg block of ice at −8∘C-8^{\circ}\text{C} to change it to water at 14∘C14^{\circ}\text{C}. The specific heat of ice is 2050 J/kg⋅∘C2050 \text{ J/kg} \cdot ^{\circ}\text{C}, the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg⋅∘C4186 \text{ J/kg} \cdot ^{\circ}\text{C}, the latent heat of fusion of ice is 334,000 J/kg, and 1 cal=4.186 J1 \text{ cal} = 4.186 \text{ J}. (a) 780 kcal (b) 140 kcal (c) 180 kcal (d) 810 kcal
