How many calories of heat energy are required to melt 20 grams of ice at 0 °c?

1 answer:

3 0

The latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 calories per gram. This means that if we have 20 grams of ice to be melted from solid to liquid at the freezing point of 0 degrees C, we find the total heat requirement by:
Q = m(Lf) = (20 g)(80 cal/g) = 1600 calories
So the total heat requirement is 1600 calories.

Calculate the mass (in g) of 2.1 x 1024 atoms of W.

vfiekz [6]

Set up your units to algebraically cancel out the original unit, and end up with the units of the answer in the final numerator. We'll first convert to moles by using Avogadro's number, then the atomic mass of tungsten (W) from the periodic table, since the mass, in grams, of one mole of any element is the atomic mass number:
2.1x10∧24 atoms W x (1 mole/6.022x10∧23 atoms) x (183.84g/1 mole) = 641.089 grams
Since your given number has only two significant figures (2.1), your answer should also only express in 2 sig figs: 6.4x10∧2 grams
