Methanol, CH3OH, has a boiling point of 337.85 K and a melting point of 175.55 K. Its heat of fusion is 1.58 kJ/mol, and its heat of vaporization is 5.64 kJ/mol. The specific heat capacity of solid methanol is 105 J/mol.K, of liquid methanol is 67.9 J/mol.K, and of methanol vapour is 94.5 J/mol.K. How many kJ of heat are required to convert 16.02 g of solid methanol at its melting point to methanol vapour five degrees above its boiling point?
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
