Concept Introduction:
The heat of fusion is the amount of heat required to melt 1 mole of solid.
It is denoted by
For
The heat required for melting of ice is taken from the water and it equals to heat energy released by water and thus, its temperature changes.
Heat released by water is calculated by,
Here, m is the mass of water, C is the heat capacity of water and
The heat capacity of water is
The density of water is assumed to be

- Explain why 15 g of steam at 100C melts more ice than 15 g of liquid water at 100C.arrow_forwardThe enthalpy of vaporization of water is larger than its enthalpy of fusion. Explain why.arrow_forwardSome water is placed in a sealed glass container connected to a vacuum pump (a device used to pump gases from a container), and the pump is turned on. The water appears to boil and then freezes. Explain these changes using the phase diagram for water. What would happen to the ice if the vacuum pump was left on indefinitely?arrow_forward
- Identify two common observations indicating some solids, such as dry ice and mothballs, have vapor pressures sufficient to sublime?arrow_forwardExplain why evaporation leads to cooling of the liquid.arrow_forward8.51 Suppose that three unknown pure substances are liquids at room temperature. You determine that the boiling point of substance A is 53°C, that of substance B is 117°C, and that of substance C is 77°C. Based on this information, rank the three substances in order of their vapor pressures at room temperature.arrow_forward
