The correct answer would be the last option. A double displacement type of reaction involves the switching of places the cations and anions accordingly. The given reaction is erroneous since in the product side the anions and cations are being paired which would not make sense. The correct reaction should be
4NaBr + Co(SO3)2 yields <span>CoBr4 + 2Na2SO3</span>
The correct answer would be the first option. Material A having a smaller latent heat of fusion would mean that it will take only less energy to phase change into the liquid phase. Latent of heat of fusion is the amount of energy needed of a substance to phase change from solid to liquid or liquid to solid.
The total amount of heat required is the sum of all the sensible heat and latent heats involved in bringing the ice to a desired temperature and state. The latent heat of fusion and vaporization of water 333.55 J/g and 2260 J/g, respectively. Solving for the total amount of heat,
total amount of heat = 13.0 g (2.09 J/gC)(12) + 13(333.55 J/g) + 13.0 g (4.18 J/gC)(100 - 0) + (13.0 g)(2260 J/g) + (13 g)(2.01 J/g)(113-100)
= 39815.88 J
= 39.82 kJ
