Years ago, a block of ice with a mass of about 20.0 kg was used daily in a home icebox. The temperature of the ice was 0.0°C when it was delivered. As it melted, how much thermal energy did the ice absorb?

Respuesta :

Answer: The ice absorb 6671.1 kJ of thermal energy.

Explanation:

The conversions involved in this process are :

[tex]0.00^0C=273K[/tex]

[tex]:H_2O(s)(273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(273K)[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change.

[tex]\Delta H=n\times \Delta H_{fusion}[/tex]

where,

[tex]\Delta H[/tex] = enthalpy change = ?

m = mass of ice = 20.0 kg  = [tex]20.0\times 10^3g[/tex]    (1kg=1000g)

n = number of moles of ice= [tex]\frac{\text{Mass of ice}}{\text{Molar mass of water}}=\frac{20.0\times 10^3g}{18g/mole}=1.11\times 10^3mole[/tex]

[tex]\Delta H_{fusion}[/tex] = enthalpy change for fusion = 6.01 KJ/mole = 6010 J/mole

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get

[tex]\Delta H=1.11\times 10^3mole\times 6010J/mole[/tex]

[tex]\Delta H=6671100J=6671.1kJ[/tex]     (1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, the enthalpy change is,  6671.1 kJ

Answer:

  • The block of ice absorbed heat = [tex]6680KJ[/tex]

Explanation:

Heat Absorbed = mL

where,

L = latent heat of fusion = [tex]334kg/kJ[/tex]

Therefore,

Heat absorbed = [tex]20 * 334[/tex]

Heat absorbed = [tex]6680KJ[/tex]
