When ice melts, the physicals state changes from solid to liquid. The energy or the heat required (q) required to change a unit mass (m) of a substance from solid to liquid is known as the enthalpy or heat of fusion (ΔHf). The variables; q, m and ΔHf are related as:
q = m * ΔHf
the mass of ice m = 65 g
the heat of fusion of water at 0C = ΔHf = 334 J/g
Therefore: q = 65 g * 334 J/g = 21710 J
Now:
4.184 J = 1 cal
which implies that: 21710 J = 1 cal * 21710 J/4.184 J = 5188.8 cal
Hence the heat required is 5188.8 cal or 5.2 Kcal (approx)
The atomic mass of the element would simply be equal to
the sum of the weighted average of each isotope, that is:
atomic mass = 59.015 amu * 0.717 + 62.011 amu * (1 – 0.717)
<span>atomic mass = 59.863 amu</span>
The amplitude of a wave is the distance between a point on one wave and the identical point on the next wave. The period and wavelength of a wave are inversely proportional.
