How much heat is required to convert 5.53 g of ice at -12.0 ∘c to water at 24.0 ∘c? (the heat capacity of ice is 2.09 j/(g⋅∘c), δhvap(h2o)=40.7kj/mol, and δhfus(h2o)=6.02kj/mol.)

2.55 × 10³ J =2.55 kJ

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of ice =  37.8 J / mol °C

Specific heat capacity of water = 76.0 J/ mol °C

Ice at -12 °C is converted to ice at 0 °C by absorbing heat Q₁

Ice at 0°C melts to water at 0 °C. Let Heat  absorbed during this phase change be Q₂ .

Let heat  absorbed to raise the temperature of water from 0 C to 24°C be Q₃ .

Total heat = Q = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃

Q₁ = (37.8 j/mol C )(5.53 g /18.01532 g/ mol )( 0-(-12)) = 139.23749 j

Q₂ =(5.53 g/18.01532 g H₂O / mol ) (6.02 x10³ j) = 1847.905 j

Q₃ = (76 j/mol C) ( (5.53 g/18.01532 g H₂O / mol )(24-0) = 559.8968 j

Total Heat required = Q = 139.23749 j + 1847.905 j + 559.8968 j

= 2547.039 j = 2.55 × 10³ J =2.55 kJ

the answer is b
