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.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Propane

Explanation:

From the question given, we were told that 0.1240 kg of propane reacted with excess oxygen to produce 0.3110kg of carbon dioxide.

Since the reaction took place in the presence of excess oxygen, therefore, propane is the limiting reactant as all of it is used up in the presence of excess oxygen.

Determine the heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 120 grams of ice at -5 to steam at 115°
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Q = 30355.2 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ice = 120 g

Initial temperature = -5°C

Final temperature = 115°C

Energy required = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity of ice is = 2.108 j/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Q = m.c. ΔT

ΔT = T2 -T1

ΔT = 115 - (-5°C)

ΔT = 120 °C

Q = 120 g × 2.108 j/g.°C × 120 °C

Q = 30355.2 J
