Chapter 11, Problem 35E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of heat that is absorbed while melting $25.0\text{g}$ of ice at $0\text{°C}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

When a substance change its state from solid to liquid, then the amount of heat needed to melt $\text{1}\text{.00}\text{g}$ of substance is known as heat of fusion $\left({\text{H}}_{\text{fusion}}\right)$.

The heat of fusion for water is $80.0\text{cal}/\text{g}$.
