A laboratory apparatus is used to maintain a horizontal slab of ice at -2.2°C so that specimens can be prepared on the surface of the ice and kept close to 0°C. If the ice is 10 cm by 3.8 cm and the laboratory is kept at 16°C, find the cooling rate in watts that the apparatus must provide to the ice.

GIVEN
• A slab of ice in a laboratory
• Ice temperature (Ti) = -2.2°C
• Ice dimensions: 10 cm by 3.8 cm
• Ambient temperature (T?) = 16°C
FIND
• The cooling rate (q) in watts
ASSUMPTIONS
• Air in the laboratory is still
• Effects of sublimation are negligible
• Effects of moisture in the air are negligible
