Two Experimental Runs Are Performed to Determine the Calorimetric Properties 10.0C.- 10.0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C } .

Question 48

Multiple Choice

Two experimental runs are performed to determine the calorimetric properties of an alcohol which
has a melting point of 10.0C.- 10.0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C } . In the first run, a 200-g cube of frozen alcohol, at the melting point,
is added to 300 g of water at 20.0C20.0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C } in a styrofoam container. When thermal equilibrium is
reached, the alcohol-water solution is at a temperature of 5.0C5.0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C } In the second run, an identical
cube of alcohol is added to 500 g of water at 20.0C20.0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C } and the temperature at thermal equilibrium is
10.0C10.0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C } The specific heat capacity of water is 4190 J/kgK.4190 \mathrm {~J} / \mathrm { kg } \cdot \mathrm { K } . Assume no heat is exchanged with the
styrofoam container and the surroundings. What is the heat of fusion of the alcohol?


A) 8.7×104 J/kg8.7 \times 10 ^ { 4 } \mathrm {~J} / \mathrm { kg }
B) 7.9×104 J/kg7.9 \times 10 ^ { 4 } \mathrm {~J} / \mathrm { kg }
C) 7.1×104 J/kg7.1 \times 10 ^ { 4 } \mathrm {~J} / \mathrm { kg }
D) 6.3×104 J/kg6.3 \times 10 ^ { 4 } \mathrm {~J} / \mathrm { kg }
E) 5.5×104 J/kg5.5 \times 10 ^ { 4 } \mathrm {~J} / \mathrm { kg }
