How much energy, in kilojoules, is required to melt 20 kg of ice at 0°C?

Sagot :

The energy required to melt 20 kg of ice at 0°C is 6.68 kJ.

The enthalpy change for melting of an ice is called the enthalpy of fusion. Its value is 6.02 kJ/mol. This means for every mole of ice we must apply  6.02 kJ of heat for melting. The calculation of heat is done by following equation.

q = n×ΔH

  • q is heat
  • n is number of moles
  • ΔH is change in enthapy

in this problem we need to calculate heat needed to melt 20grams of ice at  0°C .

Calculation of moles of water,

Number of moles of water (n) = given mass/ molar mass = 20g/18.02g/mol

Number of moles of water (n) = 1.109 mole

heat or energy required = q = n×ΔH =  1.109 mole× 6.02 kJ/mol = 6.68 kJ
