Question

What is the thermal energy needed to completely melt 9.60 mol of ice at 0.0 C

Answer 1

Answer:

57.792 kJ

Explanation:

Molar enthalpy of fusion of the substance is defined as the energy required to convert the substance in solid state, at its melting point to liquid state at constant pressure and no change in temperature.

For example the energy required to convert 1 mole of water (ice) at 0°C to 1 mole of water (liquid) at 0°C is 6.02 kJ/mol.

Thus, thermal energy required to convert 9.60 moles of ice is 6.02×9.60 kJ = 57.792 kJ

Answer 2

The  thermal energy  needed to  completely  melt  9.60  mole  of ice  at  0.0 C  is    57.8   Kj

        Explanation
ice  melt  to  form   water

The molar  heat of fusion  for   water  is  6.02  Kj/mol
Thermal energy =  moles  x  molar  heat  of  fussion  for water

=9.6  mol  x6.02 kj/mol =57.8  Kj
