How much heat is required to convert 5.88 g of ice at − 12.0 ∘c to water at 27.0 ∘c ? (the heat capacity of ice is 2.09 j/g∘c, δhvap(h2o)=40.7kj/mol, δhfus(h2o)=6.02kj/mol)?
You have to calculate the heat for three separate processes:1) heat the ice from - 12°C to 0°C, 2) melt the ice at 0°C, and 3) heat the liquid water from 0°C to 27.0 °C.
1) Heating the ice from - 12°C to 0°C
Q1 = m * C * ΔT = 5.88g * 2.09 j/g°C * [0°C - (-12°C) ] = 147.47 j
2) Melting the ice at 0°C
Q2 = m * Δh fus
Convert 5.88 g to moles => 5.88 g / 18.0 g/mol = 0.327 moles
