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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marta_Voda [28]3 years ago
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.

Compare the boiling points of alcohol, ethers and alkanes and explain one reason for the difference
scoundrel [369]

Alcohols have higher boiling points than do ethers and alkanes of similar molar masses.

<h3>What is meant by Boiling Point ?</h3>

The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid is called the boiling point of the substance.

Approximately boiling point of Ethanol: 78.4°C, ether: 34.6°C, ethanes: 68°C

The reason for the difference is that it takes more energy to separate alcohol molecules then it does to separate alkane molecules and ether molecules.

The OH group in  alcohol allows molecules to engage in hydrogen bonding.

Therefore Boiling point are in the order ;

Alcohol > alkane > ethers
