How much heat on joules is required to melt 3mol of ice? (the heat of fusion is 6.01 kj/mol)
What is 3mol*6.01kj/mol ?
To find the amount of heat required to melt 3 mol of ice, you can use the equation:
Heat = moles of substance × heat of fusion
Here, the moles of ice (substance) is given as 3 mol, and the heat of fusion is 6.01 kJ/mol.
To proceed, you need to convert the heat of fusion from kJ/mol to J/mol, as the moles are given in mol. Recall that 1 kJ is equal to 1000 J. So, you can multiply 6.01 kJ/mol by 1000 to get the heat of fusion in J/mol:
Heat of fusion = 6.01 kJ/mol × 1000 J/kJ
Heat of fusion = 6010 J/mol
Now, plug in the values into the equation:
Heat = 3 mol × 6010 J/mol
Heat = 18030 J
Therefore, it would require 18,030 joules of heat to melt 3 mol of ice.
