A 2.8-kg pile of aluminum (rho = 2.70 g/cm3) cans is melted, then cooled into a solid cube. What is the volume of the cube?

Explanation:

mass of aluminum 2.8 kg = 2.8 x 1000 = 2800 g

ρ = density of aluminum given = 2.7 g / cm³

density = mass / volume

volume = mass / density

= 2800 / 2.7

= 1037 cm³

So volume of cube required = 1037 cm³.

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
