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)
Please, observe that it is not right to say that a substance content heat.
Heat is not something that a body or substance content. Heat is the transmission of energy due to difference of temperatures.
An endothermic reactions is that where the reactants abosorb energy from the surroundings to occur. The products, then, will be higher in energy than the reactants while the surroundings get colder.
Answer:
Explanation:
the elements are arranged according to their atomic number - not their relative atomic mass . In the periodic table the elements are arranged into: rows, called periods , in order of increasing atomic number. vertical columns, called groups , where the elements have similar properties
Do we get multiple choice
