It indicates the number of moles of reactants and products

Explanation:

The coefficients in front of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction represents the number of moles of reactants and products.

Every reaction is made up of equal number of moles of reactants and products. Thus, chemical equations are written in such a way to obey the law of conservation of matter.

The numbers used are usually whole numbers and the are very important in stoichiometry.

Explanation:

Relation between pressure, latent heat of fusion, and change in volume is as follows.

$\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{L}{T \times \Delta V}$

Also, $\frac{L}{T} = \Delta S^{fusion}_{m}$

where, $\Delta V^{fusion}_{m}$ is the difference in specific volumes.

Hence, $\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{\Delta S^{fusion}_{m}}{\Delta V^{fusion}_{m}}$

As, $\Delta S^{fusion}_{m} = \frac{L}{T} = \frac{6010}{273.15}$ = 22.0 J/mol K

And, $\Delta V^{fusion}_{m} = \frac{M}{d_{H_{2}O}} - \frac{M}{d_{ice}}$ ...... (1)

where, $d_{H_{2}O}$ = density of water

$d_{ice}$ = density of ice

M = molar mass of water = $18.02 \times 10^{-3} kg$

Therefore, using formula in equation (1) we will calculate the volume of fusion as follows.

$\Delta V^{fusion}_{m} = \frac{M}{d_{H_{2}O}} - \frac{M}{d_{ice}}$

= $\frac{18.02 \times 10^{-3}}{997} - \frac{18.02 \times 10^{-3}}{920}$

= $-1.51 \times 10^{-6}$

Therefore, calculate the required pressure as follows.

$\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{22}{-1.51 \times 10^{-6}}$

= $1.45 \times 10^{7} Pa/K$

or, = 145 bar/K

Hence, for change of 1 degree pressure the decrease is 145 bar and for 4.7 degree change dP = $145 \times 4.7 bar$

= 681.5 bar

Thus, we can conclude that pressure should be increased by 681.5 bar to cause 4.7 degree change in melting point.
