Answer: fourth option, 10.8 kJ


Explanation:


The <em>heat of fusion</em>, also named latent heat of fusion, is the amount of heat energy required to change the state of a substance from solid to liquid (at constant pressure).


The data of the <em>heat of fusions</em> of the substances are reported in tables and they can be shown either per mole or per gram of substance.


In this case we have that the<em> heat of fusion for water </em>is reported per mole: <em>6.02 kJ/mole</em>.


The formula to calculate <em>how many kJ of heat (total heat) are needed to completely melt 32.3 g of water, given that the water is at its melting point</em> is:

  • Heat = number of moles × heat of fusion

The calculations are:

  • number of moles = mass / molar mass

        number of moles = 32.3 g / 18.015 g/mol = 1.79 mol

       

  • Heat = 1.79 mol × 6.02 kJ / mol = 10.8 kJ ← answer

The amount of heat required to completely melt 32.3 g water is \boxed{{\text{10}}{\text{.78 kJ}}}

Further explanation:

Latent heat:

The heat released or absorbed during the process of conversion of the physical state of a substance without altering the temperature is known as the latent heat.

When the physical state changes from the solid phase to liquid phase then the amount of heat absorbed in this process to completely convert the solid into liquid without altering the temperature is known as the latent heat fusion.

The formula to calculate heat absorbed from the latent heat of fusion is,

{\text{q}}={\text{n}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{f}}}                                  …… (1)

Here,

q is heat absorbed.

n denotes the number of moles of substance.

{{\text{H}}_{\text{f}}}is latent heat of fusion.

The formula to calculate the moles of water is as follows:

{\text{Moles of water}}=\frac{{{\text{Given mass of water}}}}{{{\text{Molar mass of water}}}}                …… (2)

The mass of the given water is 32.3 g.

The molar mass of water is 18.015 g/mol.

Substitute these values in equation (2).

\begin{gathered}{\text{Moles of water}}=\left({{\text{32}}{\text{.3 g}}}\right)\left({\frac{{{\text{1 mol}}}}{{{\text{18}}{\text{.015 g}}}}}\right)\\={\text{1}}{\text{.792950 mol}}\\\approx{\text{1}}{\text{.79 mol}}\\\end{gathered}

The moles of water is 1.79 mol.

The latent heat of fusion is 6.02 kJ/mol.

Substitute these values in equation (1).

\begin{gathered}{\text{q}}=\left({{\text{1}}{\text{.79 mol}}}\right)\left({\frac{{{\text{6}}{\text{.02}}\;{\text{kJ}}}}{{{\text{1 mol}}}}}\right)\\=10.7758{\text{ kJ}}\\\approx{\text{10}}{\text{.78 kJ}}\\\end{gathered}

So 10.78 kJ is needed to completely melt 32.3 g of water.

What is the concentration (in M) of a 225ml potassium sulfate solution that contains 4.15g of potassium?
mars1129 [50]

The concentration of solution in M or mol/L can be calculated using the following formula:

C=\frac{n}{V} .... (1)

Here, n is number of moles and V is volume of solution in L.

The molecular formula of potassium sulfate is K_{2}SO_{4} thus, there are 2 moles of potassium in 1 mol of potassium sulfate.

1 mol of potassium will be there in 0.5 mol of potassium sulfate.

Mass of potassium is 4.15 g, molar mass is 39.1 g/mol.

Number of moles can be calculated as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Here, m is mass and M is molar mass

Putting the values,

n=\frac{(4.15 g}{(39.1 g/mol}=0.1061 mol

Thus, number of moles of  K_{2}SO_{4} will be 0.1061\times 0.5=0.053 mol.

The volume of solution is 225 mL, converting this into L,

1 mL=10^{-3}L

Thus,

225 mL=0.225 L

Putting the values in equation (1),

C=\frac{(0.053 mol}{0.225 L}=0.236 M

Therefore, concentration of potassium sulfate solution is 0.236 M.

Write the equation for the reaction described: A solid metal oxide, Ag2O, and hydrogen are the products of the reaction between
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

2Ag + H2O -----> Ag2O + 2H

Explanation:

2Ag + H2O -----> Ag2O + 2H is the equation of the reaction between metal and steam. Silver reacts with water (steam) forming silver oxide and hydrogen gas. When the metals react with steam it produces the solid metal oxide and hydrogen gas. On the surface o metals, a protective layer of aluminium oxide is formed that keeps water away from the metal so we can say that silver oxide and hydrogen are formed from the reaction of silver metal and steam.
