The thermometer must be <u>in contact with the ice/water only</u>

Explanation:

In this experiment in the lab, the aim is to measure the specific latent heat of fusion of water.

The specific latent heat of fusion of a substance is the amount of heat energy required to completely melt a certain amount of the substance, mathematically:

\lambda = \frac{Q}{m}

where

Q is the heat supplied to the substance

m is the mass of the substance

In this experiment, the aim is to measure the specific latent heat of fusion of water. In order to do that, a mix of ice/water is heated with a certain amount of heat Q, and then it is evaluated the amount of mass m that undergoes melting.

An important precaution that must be taken in this experiment is that the temperature of the water/ice mixture remains constant and equal to the melting point of ice (otherwise, part of the heat supplied to the mixture is used to increase the temperature of the water, resulting in an inaccurate measure of Q). Therefore, a thermometer must be used to check constantly the temperature, and this thermometer must be placed inside the ice/water mixture only (It should not touch the saucepan, whose temperature can be higher).

So, the correct answer is

in contact with the ice/water only

How many grams of water will be produced from 50 g hydrogen reacting with 50 g oxygen?
DanielleElmas [232]

We need to first come up with a balanced equation:


4H+O_{2} → 2H_{2}O


We know that the molar ratio of hydrogen to oxygen to water now is 4:1:2.


Converting the amount of grams given to moles is as follows:


Hydrogen: \frac{1mole}{1.008g}*50g=49.6mol


Oxygen: \frac{1mole}{15.999g}*50g=3.125mol


We know now that the limiting reactant is oxygen. We can then know that the number of moles of water are produced are double the number of moles of oxygen used due to the ratio that we established at the beginning - 4:1:2.


So we now can use 6.25 moles of water as the amount produced.


Then we convert moles of water to grams:


\frac{18.015g}{1mole} *6.25mol=112.59g


Now we know that there are 112.59g of water produced when we start with 50g of hydrogen and 50g of water.
