Two kilograms of ice at 0.0 °C are placed in a sealed glass container [k = 0.80 W/(m · C°)]. The container is then placed in a room that is maintained at 30.0 °C. The top cover is a thermal insulator and all other sides of the container are exposed to room air. The surface area of the container is 6.53 × 10-2 m2; and its glass walls are 0.0050 m thick. -How much heat is required to melt the ice?

On a cold winter day, the outside temperature is -5.0 °C while the interior of a well-insulated garage is maintained at 20.0 °C by an electric heater. Assume the walls have a total area of 75 m2, a thickness of 0.15 m, and a thermal conductivity of 0.042 W/(m · C°). What is the cost to heat the garage for six hours at these temperatures if the cost of electricity is $ 0.11/kWh? Note: 1 kWh = 3.6 × 106 J.
