How much heat (kJ) must be removed in order to change 3.70 moles of water at 62.0 oC to ice at -11.0 oC ?


The specific heat capacity of solid water is 2.03 J g-1 oC -1


Use a negative sign in your answer if heat is removed.

Well, there are three different steps to this.
First of all we need to go from 62oC to 0oC and see how much heat this will give off.
Secondly, during a phase change, you have to remove heat. During this process, the temperature will remain constant.
Thirdly, you have to make the ice go from 0oC to -12oC
Before we begin, it would be helpful to determine the mass of the water involved.
Mass H2O = 3.70 mol * 18.02 g/mol
= 66.67g
During it's liquid state, water has a specific heat capacity of 4.19 J/(goC). The change in temperature is (0.0 - 62.0 = -62 degrees).
To go from 62 to 0:
= 4.19J/(goC) * 66.67g * -62.0oC
= -17320J
= -17.3 kJ
Now for the phase change. The heat of fusion for ice is -6.02kJ/mol
= -6.02 kJ/mol * 3.70 mol
= -22.3kJ
Now from 0oC to -11.0oC Since we're cooling the water down, it is an exothermic process.
=2.03J /(goC) * - 11oC * 66.67g
=- 1489J
= - 1.5kJ
The change in enthalpy is the sum of these three
=-17.3 kJ+-22.3kJ+ - 1.5kJkJ
= - 41.1kJ
You can make sure my calculations are correct. I know that my procedure is. Good luck :)

1 mole of water =18g 3.7 moles =66.6g

first you must cold the water from 62 to zero

so the heat capacity of liquid water is 1cal/g

you must remove Q = -62*66.6 =-4129 cal
to freeze one gram of water you take 80 cal

so for66.6 g q =-80*66.6 =-5328 g

and to freeze to -11 you need if 1J =4.18cal

-66.6*11*2.03/4.18=- 355.7 =-9182 cal
