Question 22 • Chemistry

A sample of iron Fe with a mass of 200.0g releases 9 comma 840 cal when it freezes at its freezing point. What is the molar heat of fusion for iron? Use q is equal to n triangle cap h

Answer
A
3 comma 280 point 0 cal over mol
B
2 comma 771 point 8 cal over mol
C
2 comma 811 point 7 cal over mol
D
2 comma 747 point 7 cal over mol

Explanation

First find the amount of iron: 200.0 g ÷ 55.85 g/mol ≈ 3.581 mol. The sample releases 9,840 cal as it freezes, so the heat of fusion is the same amount per mole in magnitude: 9,840 cal ÷ 3.581 mol ≈ 2,747.7 cal/mol. The molar heat of fusion is therefore 2,747.7 cal/mol, choice B.
