The heat released when
Concept introduction:
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature to one degree Celsius per unit mass is termed as specific heat. Heat of fusion is the heat at which the state of a substance changes from solid to liquid at constant pressure. When a substance changes from liquid to solid it is heat of solidification. The amount of heat required to convert a liquid substance to gas is known as heat of vaporization. When a gaseous vapor changes to liquid the heat required is heat of condensation.

- Calculate the quantity of heating required to convert the water in four ice cubes (60.1 g each) from H2O(s) at 0 °C to H2O(g) at 100. °C. The enthalpy of fusion of ice is 333 J/g and the enthalpy of vaporization of liquid water is 2260 J/g.arrow_forwardA quantity of ice at 0C is added to 64.3 g of water in a glass at 55C. After the ice melted, the temperature of the water in the glass was 15C. How much ice was added? The heat of fusion of water is 6.01 kJ/mol and the specific heat is 4.18 J/(g C).arrow_forwardExplain why the enthalpies of vaporization of the following substances increase in the order CH4NH3H2O, even though all three substances have approximately the same molar mass.arrow_forward
- What is U when 1.00 mol of liquid water vaporizes at 100C? The heat of vaporization, Hvap, of water at 100C is 40.66 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardFollow the step-wise process outlined in Problem 31 to calculate the amount of heat involved in condensing 100.00 g of benzene gas (C6H6) at 80.00C to liquid benzene at 25.00C. Use Tables 8.1 and 8.2 for the specific heat, boiling point, and heat of vaporization of benzene.arrow_forwardWhy are steam burns so much worse than water burns even if the H2O is at the same temperature for both phases? Hint: Consider the heat of vaporization of water.arrow_forward
- The amount of heat required to melt 2 lbs of ice is twice the amount of heat required to melt 1 lb of ice. Is this observation a macroscopic or microscopic description of chemical behavior? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardWill a closed container of water at 70 C or an open container of water at the same temperature cool faster on a cold winter day? Explain why.arrow_forwardIs it possible to liquefy nitrogen at room temperature (about 25 C)? Is it possible to liquefy sulfur dioxide at room temperature? Explain your answers.arrow_forward
