Question

Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the fusion of ice at 0°C to liquid water at 0°C, given that the enthalpy of fusion of ice is 6.01 kJ/mol and the molar mass of water is 18.015 g/mol.

Answer 1

The standard enthalpy change for the fusion of ice at 0C to liquid water at 0C can be found using the given enthalpy of fusion of ice, which is 6.01 kJ/mol. Since the process involves only one mole of ice converting to one mole of liquid water, the standard enthalpy change for this process is equal to the enthalpy of fusion of ice.Therefore, the standard enthalpy change for the fusion of ice at 0C to liquid water at 0C is 6.01 kJ/mol.
