Asample of ice is heated continuously until it becomes a liquid, and then a gas. its temperature is recorded throughout and a graph is constructed. during the transition from solid ice to liquid water the graph is flat indicating no increase in kinetic energy even though heat is still being added to the sample. what does this section represent?
a. the specific latent heat of vaporization
b. the specific heat
c. the specific latent heat of fusion
d. the internal energy

The answer to your question is: C. The specific latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

A. The specific latent heat of vaporization  Specific latent heat of vaporization indicates the transition from liquid to vapor, but we are not looking for this definition. This answer is wrong.

B. The specific heat indicates the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of water 1°C, so this answer is wrong.

C. The specific latent heat of fusion . This heat indicate the transition from solid ie to liquid, so this is the right answer.

D. The internal energy measures the energy of the molecules of a substance, so this answer is wrong.

The answer to your question is: C. The specific latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

1.consider the following balanced equation and answer parts a through. show calculations for each part.  

3 ag(s) + 4 hno3(aq) → 3 agno3(aq) + no(g) + 2 h2o(l)  

a. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 3 moles of ag with excess hno3. if the number to the left of the compound represents the number of moles of the compound which are present, then 3 moles of ag react with 4 moles hno3 to produce 3 moles agno3 (aq).

so the answer to a would be 3 moles.

b. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

i'm not sure how to plug in the grams of silver into an equation using moles to find how many moles are produced.

c. calculate the number of grams of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3  

d. calculate the number of moles of no produced as a byproduct of the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

e. calculate the number of grams of no produced as a byproduct starting with 108 grams of ag and excess hno3.
