<span>In thermodynamics, the internal energy of a thermodynamic system, or a body with well-defined boundaries, denoted by U, or sometimes E, is the total of the kinetic energy due to the motion of molecules (translational, rotational, vibrational) and the potential energy associated with the vibrational and electric energy of atoms within molecules or crystals. It includes the energy in all the chemical bonds, and the energy of the free, conduction electrons in metals.</span>
Answer:
T2 = 29.79°C
Explanation:
Equliibrium signifies that heat loss = heat gained
Heat gained by Ice;
H = ML
Mass, M = Number of moles * Molar mass = 1 * 18 = 18g
l = 6.01 k J m o l = 334 J/g
C = 4.186 J/g
H = 18(334)
H = 6012
Heat lost by water
H = MCΔT
H = 18 * 4.186 * (50 - T2)
H = 3767.4 - 75.348T2
Since H = H, we have;
6012 = 3767.4 - 75.348T2
- 75.348T2 = 3767 - 6012
T2 = 2245 / 75.348
T2 = 29.79°C
To make sure no cracks are in the crucible and also to remove any moisture present in the crucible by the process of heating.
