I assume you mean degrees Fahrenheit.

First you must remove heat to make ice not add it. Next, the amount depends largely on the quantity (mass) of water being frozen.

Water has a enthalpy of fusion of 333.55 KJ / Kg

This means that for each kilogram of water you must remove 333.55 kilo-Joules to make it into ice.

A conversion factor of 1 : 0.9478 between KJ and BTU gives us 316.14 BTU per Kilogram of water.

How many btus does it take to raise half pound of water 1 degree?

One BTU is the energy required to raise one pound of water by one degrees. Therefore, your answer would be one half.


How many btus does it take to turn water into steam?

It takes approximately 970 BTUs to convert one pound of water at 212°F (100°C) to steam at the same temperature.

How many BTUs does it take to raise the temperature of water from 32 degrees to 300 degrees?

That will completely depend on how much water there is.


How many btus does it take to heat up one gallon of water?

It takes 8.33 BTUs to heat up one gallon of water by one degree Fahrenheit. The amount of energy needed to heat the water to a desired temperature will depend on the starting temperature and the desired final temperature.


How much gas does it take to heat a gallon of water?

Heating a gallon of water by one degree Celsius requires around 8,337 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of energy. Since 1 cubic foot of natural gas produces about 1,031 BTUs, you would need roughly 8 cubic feet of natural gas to heat a gallon of water by one degree Celsius.


How many btus will it take to raise 50 pounds of ice at 32 degrees to water at 160 degrees?

To raise 1 pound of ice from 32°F to water at 32°F it requires 144 BTUs. Since you have 50 pounds of ice, you would need 50 * 144 BTUs to raise the ice to water at 32°F. To further raise the water from 32°F to 160°F, you would need an additional amount of BTUs based on the specific heat capacity of water.


How many BTUs will it take to change 1 gallon of water at 32 degrees to ice at 32 degrees?

You would need to remove approximately 1200 BTUs of heat to convert a gallon of water to ice. There are 8.34 lb in a gallon of water, which converting to lb-moles is 0.463. The latent heat of crystallization for water is -2583.4 BTU/lb-mole. Multiplying the two together and you get -1197 BTUs, which means you need to remove that amount of heat to convert the gallon of water to ice.


Why does it take fewer btus to change 1 lb of 0 degree ice into 32 degree ice than it does to change 1lb of 32 degree ice into 32 degree water?

In a solid state, the molecules are bound together; these bonds must be broken to convert the substance from solid to liquid, and that requires energy.
