After an afternoon party, a small cooler full of ice is dumped onto the hot ground and melts. If the cooler contained 9.90 kg of ice and the temperature of the ground was 39.0 °C, calculate the energy that is required to melt all the ice at 0 °C. The heat of fusion for water is 80.0 cal/g. energy required: cal
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
