Interpretation:
The amount of energy released when the molten zinc metal cools, solidifies and further cools to
Concept introduction:
The amount of energy required to change the state of a substance is known as enthalpy. It is the difference in the energy of the final and initial state of a substance. The negative and positive sign of enthalpy indicates the energy released and energy absorbed, respectively, during the phase change.

- The enthalpy of vaporization of water is larger than its enthalpy of fusion. Explain why.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_forwardWhich requires the absorption of a greater amount of heat—vaporizing 100.0 g of benzene or boiling 20.0 g of water? (Use Table 8.2.)arrow_forward
- 9.46 The heat of fusion of pure silicon is 43.4 kJ/mol. How much energy would be needed to melt a 5.24-g sample of silicon at its melting point of 1693 K?arrow_forwardBenzene, C6H6, is an organic liquid that freezes at 5.5 C (Figure 11.1) to form beautiful, feather-like crystals. How much energy is evolved as heat when 15.5 g of benzene freezes at 5.5 C? (The enthalpy of fusion of benzene is 9.95 kJ/mol.) If the 15.5-g sample is remelted, again at 5.5 C, what quantity of energy is required to convert it to a liquid?arrow_forwardCalculate 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_forward
- What quantity of energy does it take to convert 0.500 kg ice at 20.C to steam at 250.C? Specific heat capacities: ice, 2.03 J/g C; liquid, 4.2 J/g . C; steam, 2.0 J/g C; Hvap = 40.7 kJ/mol; Hfus = 6.02 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardChloromethane, CH3CI, arises from microbial fermentation and is found throughout the environment. It is also produced industrially, is used in the manufacture of various chemicals, and has been used as a topical anesthetic. How much energy is required to convert 92.5 g of liquid to a vapor at its boiling point, 24.09 C? (The heat of vaporization of CH3Cl is 21.40 kJ/mol.)arrow_forwardThe enthalpy of vaporization of CO2(l) is 9.8 kJ/mol. Would you expect the enthalpy of vaporization of CS2(l) to be 28 kJ/mol, 9.8 kJ/mol, or 8.4 kJ/mol? Discuss the plausibility of each of these answers.arrow_forward
