Chapter 5, Problem 5.52QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mass of methane needed to be burned to melt $35.0\text{ g}$ ice has to be determined using the given data.

Concept Introduction:

Latent heat $\left(\Delta q_l\right)$ can be determined as follows,

  $\Delta q_l\text{ = n}\Delta \text{H}$

Where n is the number of moles and $\Delta H$ is the molar latent heat.

Molar mass can be determined using the given equation,

  $\text{n}\text{= }\frac{\text{m}}{\text{M}}$

Here, n is the number. of moles

  M is the Molar mass

    m is the Mass
