The correct answer is:
The temperature of ice will increases from -10℃ to 0 .
Heat supplied in this process will be
Q=msi(10)
Here, m=mass of ice
si=specific heat of ice
Then ice starts melting. Temperature during melting will remain constant (0). Heat supplied in this process will be
Q2=mL where, L=latent heat of melting
Now, the temperature of water will increase from 0℃ to 100 . Heat supplied will be Q3=msw(100)
where sw=specific heat of water.
Finally water at 100 will be converted into steam at 100 and during this process temperature again remains constant. Temperature versus heat supplied graph will be as follows.
