need help setting this problem up: The heat of fusion of water is 335 J/g. How much heat would be required to melt 10.4 g of ice?
q = mass x heat fusion.
To set up this problem, you need to determine the formula to calculate the amount of heat required to melt a given quantity of ice. The formula is:
Heat = Mass * Heat of Fusion
Where:
- Heat is the amount of heat required (in joules)
- Mass is the mass of the ice (in grams)
- Heat of Fusion is the specific heat needed to melt one gram of the substance (in joules per gram)
Now, let's use the given values to solve the problem.
Given:
- Heat of Fusion of water = 335 J/g
- Mass of ice = 10.4 g
Using the formula, substitute the given values into the equation:
Heat = 10.4 g * 335 J/g
Next, perform the multiplication:
Heat = 3484 J
Therefore, the amount of heat required to melt 10.4 g of ice is 3484 joules.
