How much heat is required to convert solid ice with a mass of 685 g at a temperature of -11.0 °C to liquid water at a temperature of 58.0 °C? The specific heat of ice is cice = 2100 J/kgK, the specific heat of water is cwater = 4186.8 J/kgK, and the heat of fusion for water is Lf = 334 kJ/kg.
5. Calculate the amount of energy given off when 13g of water at 51° C freezes to ice at 0°C.
Did a phase change occur? If so, which one? Is this endothermic or exothermic?
What is the difference between a chemical and physical change?
What is the difference between an intermolecular force and an intramolecular force?
Explain why it takes more energy to break an intramolecular force than it does an intermolecular force.
Define viscosity.
Describe what surface tension is and how you know that water has a higher surface tension than alcohol.
If a substance has a high viscosity, then it has strong intermolecular forces. For example, in the investigation we did, we found that room-temperature corn syrup had stronger intermolecular forces/higher viscosity than the hot corn syrup because it took longer for it to pour out of the beaker.
Describe cohesion and adhesion and how they relate to your everyday life.
Substances with high boiling, melting, and freezing points have stronger intermolecular forces.
Four types of intermolecular forces: dispersion forces, hydrogen bonds (H-O, H-F, H-N), ion-dipole, dipole-dipole
Which intermolecular force exists…
