The heat of fusion for a substance is 122 joules per gram. How many joules of heat are need to melt 7.50 grams of this substance
daser333 [38]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

915 Joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The heat of fusion is the heat that is required to convert a given mass of a substance from solid state to liquid state without change in temperature.
  • In this case, we are given specific heat of a substance as 122 joules per gram
  • It means that amount of heat equivalent to 122 joules is required to change 1 gram of the substance from solid state to liquid state.
  • Therefore, we can determine the amount of heat needed to change 7.5 grams of the substance from solid to liquid state.

1 g = 122 Joules

7.5 g = ?

       = 122 × 7.5

      = 915 Joules

Thus, 7.5 g of the substance at its melting point will require 915 Joules of heat to melt.

Among K, Ca and Ba, which element possess low ionization energy?
deff fn [24]

Among the elements Barium has the lowest Ionization Energy.

<h3>What is Ionization Process ?</h3>

The process by which any neutral atom gets converted into electrically charged by gaining or losing electron is called Ionization Process.

K  is an alkali metal  it has to lose one electron to attain stable electronic configuration of an inert gas

For removing second electron , a stable configuration has to be broken and so will require high amount of energy.

Ca and Ba are alkaline earth metals.

They both have to lose 2 electrons to attain  stable electronic configuration of noble gas.

They have low Iow Ionization Energy as compared to K.

Ca has higher  Ionization Energy as compared to Ba because when we move down the periodic table , The ionization energy decreases.

Hence , Among the elements Barium has the lowest Ionization Energy.
