The specific heat capacity of ice is about 0.5 cal/g • °C. Suppose it remains at that value all the way to absolute zero.

(a) Show that the quantity of heat needed to change a 1-g ice cube at absolute zero (-273°C) to 1 g of boiling water is 317 cal.


(b) How does this number of calories compare with the number of calories required to change the same gram of 100°C boiling water to 100°C steam?
