The heat of fusion for a material can be found by AHfus = m x Cp x AT where AHfus is the heat of fusion per gram, m is the mass of the solid substance being melted, C, is the specific heat of the surrounding medium, and ATis the change in the temperature of the surrounding medium as the solid melts. Calculate the heat of fusion of a 10.00-g piece of Substance X. Use 4.18 J/g-° C as the specific heat, and assume a AT of 10.00 °C. Express your answer to three significant figures (units of J/g) O 41.8 O 4.18 O 418
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.
