What is the specific latent heat of fusion of ice if it takes 863 kJ to convert 4.6 kg of ice into water at 0 C?

Answer:

The correct answer is 187.7 J/Jg.

Explanation:

The formula for finding the specific heat of fusion is,  

Specific heat of fusion = Q/m

Here Q is the heat energy added, signified in kJ, and m is the mass of the object in kg.  

Based on the given information, the heat energy added or Q is 869 kJ and the mass of the ice is 4.6 Kg

Now putting the values in the formula we get,  

Specific heat of fusion = Q/m

Specific heat of fusion = 863 kJ / 4.6 Kg = 187.7 J/Kg

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

b. primitive cubic < body-centered cubic < face-centered cubic  

Explanation:

The coordination number is defined as <em>the number of atoms (or ions) surrounding an atom (or ion) in a crystal lattice</em>. Its value gives us a measure of how tightly the spheres are packed together. The larger the coordination number, the closer the spheres are to each other.

  • In the <u>primitive cubic</u>, each sphere is in contact with 6 spheres, so its <u>coordination number is 6</u>.
  • In the <u>body-centered cubic</u>, each sphere is in contact with 8 spheres, so its <u>coordination number is 12</u>.
  • In the <u>face-centered cubic</u>, each sphere is in contact with 12 spheres, so its <u>coordination number is 12</u>.

Therefore, the increasing order in density is the primitive cubic first, then the body-centered cubic, and finally the face-centered cubic.

Explain how hydrogen bonding contributes to water's high heat of vaporization
pashok25 [27]

The heat/enthalpy of vaporization of water represents the energy input required to convert one mole of water into vapor at a constant temperature. Intermolecular forces including hydrogen bondings of significant strength hold water molecules in place under its liquid state. Whereas the molecules experience almost no intermolecular interactions under the gaseous state- consider the way noble gases molecules interact. It is thus necessary to supply sufficient energy to overcome all intermolecular interactions present in the substance under its liquid state to convert the substance into a gas. The heat of vaporization is thus related to the strength of the intermolecular interactions.

Water molecules contain hydrogen atoms bonded directly to oxygen atoms. Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative and take major control of electrons in hydrogen-oxygen bonds. Hydrogen atoms in water molecules thus experience a strong partial-positive charge and would attract lone pairs of electron on neighboring water molecules. "Hydrogen bonds" refer to the attraction between hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative elements and lone pairs of electrons. The hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water molecules are so polarized that hydrogen bonds in water are stronger than both dipole-dipole interactions and London Dispersion Forces in most other molecules. It thus take high amounts of energy to separate water molecules sufficiently apart such that they no longer experience intermolecular interactions and behave collectively like a gas. As a result, water has one of the highest heat of vaporization among covalent molecules of similar sizes.
