A 60 gram square of ice melts to water. How much energy is needed for this to happen?

How many Joules of energy do you need to melt all the ice into a pure liquid along the path from B to C on the graph? For 1 kilogram of ice ,which equals 1000 grams, we need 333 Joules/gram x 1000 grams = 333,000 Joules. Problem 3 - The Specific Heat of liquid water is 4180 Joules/kg C.

Explanation:

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8  

mgco3-5h2o"
