Question

How much heat is required to melt 26.0 g of ice at its melting point?

Answer 1

Answer:

Heat required to melt 26.0 g of ice at its melting point is 8.66 kJ.

Explanation:

Number of moles of water in 26 g of water: 26× $\frac{1}{18.02}$ moles

                                                                      =1.44 moles

The enthalpy change for melting ice is called the entlaphy of fusion. Its value is 6.02 kj/mol.

we have relation as:

                                           q = n × ΔH

where:

q  = heat

n  = moles

Δ H  = enthalpy

So calculating we get,

                                        q= 1.44*6.02 kJ

                                        q= 8.66 kJ

We require 8.66 kJ of energy to melt 26g of ice.
