<span>Metals are good conductors of electricity because of the free electrons that is present in their outer shell that makes them good conductors of electricity. This is the most accepted fact that for any thing to transmit electricity by being a good conductor they need more free electrons in their outer shell</span>

metal   have   free electrons  in  their   outer  shell  which  make  them  generally  good  conductors  of  electricity. Example  is  the  copper  which   is  used  for  electrical  wiring   since  is  a good  conductor  of  electricity.  copper  with   electronic configuration  of  (Ar)4s2 has  two  free  electrons  in  their  outer  most shell which  allow  it  to  conduct  electricity.

If the heat of fusion for water is 334 j/g, how many Jules are needed to melt 45.0 g of ice at 0.0°c?
finlep [7]

Given parameters:

Heat of fusion of water  = 334j/g

Mass of ice  = 45g

Temperature of ice =  0.0°c

Unknown:

Amount of heat needed to melt = ?

Solution:

This is simply a phase change and a latent heat is required in this process.

  To solve this problem; use the mathematical expression below;

             H  = mL

where m is the mass

            L is the heat of fusion of water;

              H  = 45 x 334  = 15030J

Sulfur undergoes combustion to yield sulfur trioxide by the following reaction equation:
12345 [234]

Answer:

Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = <u>(-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J</u>

Explanation:

Given reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

Given: The enthalpy of reaction: ΔH = - 792 kJ

Given mass of S: w₂ = 42.8 g, Molar mass of S: m = 32 g/mol

In the given reaction, the number of moles of S reacting: n = 2

As, Number of moles: n = \frac{mass\: (w_{1})}{molar\: mass\: (m)}

∴  mass of S in 2 moles of S: w_{1} = n \times m = 2\: mol \times 32\: g/mol = 64\: g

<em>Given reaction</em>: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

<em>In this reaction, the limiting reagent is S</em>

⇒ 2 moles S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

or, 64 g of S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

∴ 42.8 g of S produces (x) amount of heat

⇒ <u><em>The amount of heat produced by 42.8 g S:</em></u>

x = \frac{(- 792\: kJ) \times 42.8\: g}{64\: g} = (-529.65)\: kJ

\Rightarrow x = (-5.2965 \times 10^{2})\: kJ = (-5.2965 \times 10^{5})\: J

(\because 1 kJ = 10^{3} J)

<u>Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = (-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J</u>
