How much heat is transferred in the process of completely melting a 1.6kg block of ice starting at -15 degrees Celsius? Is this

process endothermic or exothermic?

Answer:

  • a) Heat = 590 kJ

  • b) Endothermic

Explanation:

<em>Endothermi</em>c processes absorb energy. The final state contains more energy than the initial state.

Since ice absorbs heat energy <em>in the process of completely melting</em> this is an <em>endothermic</em> process.

The process involves two stages: 1) heating the ice up to the melting point, which is 0ºC, and 2) melting the ice.

1. Heating the ice from -15ºC to 0ºC

a) Formula: Q = m×C×ΔT

  • m = 1.6 kg
  • C = 2.108 kJ/kg.ºC (specific heat of ice)
  • ΔT = 15ºC

b) Calculations:

  • Q = m×C×ΔT = 1.6 kg × 2.108 kJ/kg.ºC  × 15ºC = 50.592 kJ

2. Melting the ice at 0ºC

a) Formula:  L = m × ΔHf

  • m = 1.6 kg
  • ΔHf = 334 kJ/kg (latent heat of fussion)

b) Calculations

  •    L = m × ΔHf = 1.6 kg × 334 kJ/kg = 534.40 kJ

<u />

<u>2. Total heat</u>

<u />

  • 50.592 kJ + 534.40 kJ = 584.992 kJ ≈ 590 kJ (rounded to 2 significant figures)

yarga [219]

Answer:

Explanation:

moler mass of Cu is 63.546 g/mol. Since 63.546 g of copper has 6.022 x 10 power(23) atoms (Avogadro's number). = 9.5 x 10(power)21 atoms of copper.

The percent abundance of each isotope tells you how many of each kind of isotope exist in every 100 particles. What does relativ
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The answer is Relative plenitude alludes to the amount of a specific isotope is available in a given measure of test.  

Explanation:

The 'relative plenitude' of an isotope implies the level of that specific isotope that happens in nature. Most components are comprised of a blend of isotopes. The total of the rates of the particular isotopes must indicate 100%. The relative nuclear mass is the weighted normal of the isotopic masses. The percent plenitude of every sort of sweets reveals to you what number of every sort of Aufbau there are in each 100 CANDIES. Percent wealth is additionally relative plenitude. This is only a method for giving us a photo on which kind exists all the more every now and again.

If 81g of water is measured out, how many moles are in the sample? *
valkas [14]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

because moles = mass /mr

so 81/18(mr of H2O=2+16)

moles =4.5
