Ice cube trays hold about 350 grams of water. If the water comes out of the faucet at 37 degrees celcius, how much evergy do I have to remove to freeze the ice cubes?

-171.79 KJ

Explanation:

We must keep in mind that water freezes at 0 degrees centigrade

Recall that heat lost during freezing can be obtained from;

H = mc(θ2 - θ1)

m = mass of the water = 350 g/1000 = 0.35 Kg

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4,200 J/kg°C

θ2 = final temperature = 0°C

θ1 = initial temperature = 37°C

H= 0.35 * 4,200 * (0 - 37)

H = -54390 J = -54.39 KJ

Energy given out when 1 mole of water freezes at its freezing point = -6.04 kJ

For 350 g of water; 350 g/18 g/mol *  -6.04 kJ  = -117.4 kJ

Hence total energy removed = (-54.39 KJ) + (-117.4 kJ) = -171.79 KJ

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).

the correct option is c.

isotopes refers to different forms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass number as a result of difference in their neutron numbers. isotopes have different relative atomic mass but share the same chemical properties.
