Question

How many Joules of heat would be required

completely melt 5.00 grams of H2O(s) at 0°C at to
H2O(C) at 0°C?

Answer 1

Heat would be required : 1,670 J

Further explanation

Given

mass of H₂O=5 g

Required

Heat to melt

Solution

The heat to change the phase can be formulated :

Q = m.Lf (melting/freezing)

Lf=latent heat of fusion

The heat of fusion for water at 0 °C : 334 J/g

Input given values in formula :

`\tt Q=5* 334=\boxed{\bold{1,670~J}}`
