When a solid melts, why does it absorb energy?

1 answer:

5 0

In order for the molecules to actually separate from each other, more energy must be added. This energy, called heat of fusion or heat of melting, is absorbed by the particles as potential energy as the solid changes to a liquid. I hope this helps

How many moles are in 123.0g (NH4)2SO4

Luda [366]

Here you go! There are 0.9307 moles in 123.0 g of the compound. I solved this by using a fence post method. I calculated the number of grams in one mol of (NH4)2 SO4 and got 132.16.

I did this by finding the atomic mass of each element on the periodic table (my work is in the color blue for this step)

After that, i divided the given mass by the mass of one mol of the compound.

The answer is 0.9307 moles!! I hope this helped you! :))
