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 symbol, the atomic mass, the number of protons and electrons
B positive and negative ion
