- The enthalpy of vaporization of water is larger than its enthalpy of fusion. Explain why.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_forwardHeat is added to ice at 0 C. Explain why the temperature of the ice does not change. What does change?arrow_forward
- Will 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_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_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
- Consider a substance X with a Hvap = 20.3 kJ/mol and Hfus = 9.0 kJ/mol. The melting point, freezing point, and heat capacities of both the solid and liquid X are identical to those of water. a If you place one beaker containing 50 g of X at 10C and another beaker with 50 g of H2O at 10C on a hot plate and start heating them, which material will reach the boiling point first? b Which of the materials from part a, X or H2O, would completely boil away first? c On a piece of graph paper, draw the heating curve for H2O and X. How do the heating curves reflect your answers from parts a and b?arrow_forwardA 0.250-g chunk of sodium metal is cautiously dropped into a mixture of 50.0 g water and 50.0 g ice, both at 0C. The reaction is 2Na(s)+2H2O(l)2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)H=368kJ Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings, will the ice melt? Assuming the final mixture has a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/gc, calculate the final temperature. The enthalpy of fusion for ice is 6.02 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardExplain why ice, which is a crystalline solid, has a melting temperature of 0C, whereas butter, which is an amorphous solid, softens over a range of temperatures.arrow_forward
