Chapter 11, Problem 38E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of heat that is released to convert $\text{65}\text{.5}\text{g}$ of water from $55.5\text{°C}$ to $0.0\text{°C}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

When the state of water changes from liquid to solid, the amount of heat energy is released and this heat change is known as heat of solidification $\left({\text{H}}_{\text{solid}}\right)$.

The heat of solidification for water is $80.0\text{cal}/\text{g}$.
