Specific heat capacity of snow

Reference no: EM13662975

A snow maker at a resort pumps 150 kg of lake water per minute and sprays it into the air above a ski run. The water droplets freeze in the air and fall to the ground, forming a layer of snow. If all of the water pumped into the air turns to snow and the snow cools to the ambient air temperature of -5.0°C, how much heat does the snow-making process release each minute? Suppose the temperature of the lake water is 16.8°C, and utilize 2.00x10³J/(kg·C°) for the specific heat capacity of snow.
