Chemical reactions are invariably associated with the transfer of energy either in the form of heat or light. In the laboratory, heat changes in physical and chemical processes are measured with an instrument called Calorimeter. Heat change in the process is calculated asq=msΔT ........
s=specificheat=cΔT .......
c=heatcapacityHeat of reaction at constant volume is measured using bomb Calorimeter.
qV=ΔU=internalenergychangeHeat of reaction at constant pressure is measured using bomb Calorimeter.
qP=ΔHqP=qV+PΔVΔH=ΔU+ΔnRTThe enthalpy of fusion of ice is
6.02kJmol−1. The heat capacity of water is
4.18Jg−1C−1.
What is the smallest number of ice cubes at 0∘C, each containing one mole of water, that is needed to cool 500g of liquid water from 20∘C to 0∘C.
