Solar houses use a variety of energy storage devices to retain the heat absorbed during the day so that it can be released during the night.
 
  Suppose that you were to use a device of this kind to produce steam at 100C during the day, and then allow the steam to cool to 0C and freeze during the night. How many kilograms of water would be needed to store 20.0 kWh of energy in this way? The latent heat of vaporization of water is 22.6  105 J/kg, the latent heat of fusion of water is 33.5  104 J/kg, and the specific heat capacity of water is 4186 J/kg  K. A) 12.4 kg
  B) 23.9 kg
  C) 35.7 kg
  D) 42.6 kg
  E) 54.2 kg

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
