An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms.
First, we have to get:
1- The heat required to increase T of ice from -50 to 0 °C:
according to q formula:
q1 = m*C*ΔT
when m is the mass of ice = mol * molar mass
= 1 mol * 18 mol/g
= 18 g
and C is the specific heat capacity of ice = 2.09 J/g-K
and ΔT change in temperature = 0- (-50) = 50°C
by substitution:
∴q1 = 18 g * 2.09 J/g-K *50°C
= 1881 J = 1.881 KJ
2- the heat required to melt this mass of ice is :
q2 = n*ΔHfus
when n is the number of moles of ice = 1 mol
and ΔHfus = 6.01 KJ/mol
by substitution:
q2 = 1 mol * 6.01 KJ/mol
= 6.01 KJ
3- the heat required to increase the water temperature from 0°C to 60 °C is:
q3 = m*C*ΔT
when m is the mass of water = 18 g
C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g-K
ΔT is the change of Temperature of water = 60°C - 0°C = 60°C
by substitution:
∴q3 = 18 g * 4.18 J/g-K * 60°C
= 4514 J = 4.514 KJ
∴the total change of enthalpy = q1+q2+q3
= 1.881 KJ +6.01 KJ + 4.514 KJ
= 12.405 KJ
0.24J/g*degC * 4.37g * 2.5degC = 2.622J
The 2.5 degC is the difference between 25 and 27.5 deg C.
I think the best answer is B. Even this is the broadest case for the Conservation of matter and the one for Energy, the only way this can be applied is in nuclear rxns.
