A10.0 g ice cube is placed into 250 g of water with an initial temperature of 20.0 c. if the water drops to a temperature of 16.8 c, has a specific heat of 4.18 j/g*k, what is the enthalpy of fusion of the ice. ignore the fact that the ice, once melted, has to be heated again.

the mass of ice taken = 10 g

the mass of water = 250 g

initial temperature of water = 20 C

the final temperature of water = 16. 8 C

specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g*K

the heat absorbed by ice to melt = heat loss by water

heat loss by water = mass X specific heat of water X change in temperature

heat loss by water = 250 X 4.18 X (20-16.8) = 3344 Joules

heat gained by ice = 3344 J

heat gained by ice = enthalpy of fusion X moles of ice

moles of ice = mass / molar mass = 10 / 18 = 0.56 moles

enthalpy of fusion = 3344 / 0.56 = 5971.43 J / mole

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.
