How much heat is required to melt 26.0 g of ice at its melting point?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Heat required to melt 26.0 g of ice at its melting point is 8.66 kJ.

Explanation:

Number of moles of water in 26 g of water: 26× \frac{1}{18.02} moles

                                                                      =1.44 moles

The enthalpy change for melting ice is called the entlaphy of fusion. Its value is 6.02 kj/mol.

we have relation as:

                                           q = n × ΔH

where:

q  = heat

n  = moles

Δ H  = enthalpy

So calculating we get,

                                        q= 1.44*6.02 kJ

                                        q= 8.66 kJ

We require 8.66 kJ of energy to melt 26g of ice.

Pls assist if you can.<br>Reasons why hydrogen was chosen as a standard reference to other elements
MrMuchimi

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Hydrogen either reacts with or is formed by reactions with many other elements, so chemists could use it directly to determine their relative masses.
  • Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass, so it was convenient to give H a relative atomic mass of 1 and assign those of other elements as multiples of this number.

The O = 16 scale became the standard in 1903 and carbon-12 was chosen in 1961.
