What is heat of fusion?</h3>
Heat of fusion is the energy required to melt 1 mole of a substance.
<h3>What is heat of vaporization?</h3>
The heat energy required to vaporize 1 mole of a substance has been heat of vaporization.
Heat of fusion of copper (Cu) is given as 13 kJ/mol
Number of moles of 175 g of copper = 175/63.5 = 2.76 moles
Q = nΔH
Q = 2.76 mol x 13 kJ/mol = 35.88 kJ
Thus, the quantity of heat required to melt 175 g Cu is 35.88 kJ.
<h3>Heat of fusion of the substance</h3>
ΔH(fus) = Q/n
where;
- n is number of moles
- Q is quantity of heat released
ΔH(fus) = 21.2 kJ / 1.42 mol
ΔH(fus) = 14.93 kJ/mol
From the table the substance with latent heat of fusion of 14.9 kJ/mol is iron.
Thus, the substance that releases 21.2 kJ of energy when 1.42 mol of it freezes is iron.
