Answer:
An increase in entropy
Explanation:
In ice, the molecules are very well ordered because of the H-bonds. As ice melts, the intermolecular forces are broken (requires energy), but the order is interrupted (so entropy increases). Water is more random than ice, so ice spontaneously melts at room temperature.
Just think about this rationally. Melting ice (or anything) will require heat put in (this is called the latent heat of fusion), so you automatically know that the change in enthalpy is going to be positive. In order to make the reaction spontaneous, delta G, the Gibbs free energy has to be negative. So now look at the formula Delta(G) = Delta(H) - T*Delta*(S). If you know that g is negative, and H is positive, then it is only possible if -T*Delta(S) is negative. If that is positive, then Delta(S) has to be positive. So theres your answer :). An increase in entropy
Water is molecule formed by the covalent bonding of two atoms of hydrogen with one atom of oxygen. The chemical and physical properties of water are different from each of it's constituent elements Oxygen and Hydrogen. The properties of a drop of water will depend on the simplest unit of water, which is the water molecule
. Therefore, the smallest unit of the water drop that retains all the physical and chemical properties exhibited by a sample of water is the molecule.
Answer:
\large \boxed{\textbf{609 kJ}}
Explanation:
The formula for the heat absorbed is
q = mCΔT
Data:
m = 2.07 kg
T₁ = 23 °C
T₂ = 191 °C
C = 1.75 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹
Calculations:
1. Convert kilograms to grams
2.07 kg = 2070 g
2. Calculate ΔT
ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 191 - 23 = 168 °C
3. Calculate q

Explanation:
your answer is Kelvin because it is the SI unit of temperature
