Calculate the amount of heat needed to melt 199. g of solid ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and bring it to a temperature of significant digits. Also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol.

Respuesta :

86,472.46 J

The heat required to melt ethanol can be calculated using the formula:

heat = mass × heat of fusion

After plugging in the values ​​it looks like this:

Heat = 199 g × 109.1 J/g

= 21489.9

In order to heat the molten ethanol to a higher temperature, the heat capacity of ethanol must also be considered. The heat capacity of ethanol is 2.44 J/g × degree Celsius. To bring the molten ethanol to a sufficient temperature, we need to know the desired final temperature and the initial temperature (the melting point of ethanol, -114.1 degrees Celsius). Let's say the desired final temperature is 25 degrees Celsius.

The heat required to raise the temperature of molten ethanol can be calculated using the formula:

heat = mass × heat capacity × (final temperature - initial temperature)

After plugging in the values ​​it looks like this:

Heat = 199 g × 2.44 J/g degrees Celsius × (25 degrees - (-114.1 degrees))

= 199 g × 2.44 J/g degrees Celsius × 139.1 degrees

= 64982.56 J

add 21489.9 J + 64982.56 J = 86,472.46 J
