Grams solid × mol/g × Hfusion
The amount of energy used to melt a solid is known as the enthalpy of fusion, and this value is on a per gram or per kg basis (or on a mole basis). At any rate, it is related to the mass. The larger the mass, the more energy is needed. So, in order to calculate energy needed to melt a solid, one needs to know the heat of fusion AND the MASS of the object.
(Explanation): the other answers had Hf, Hvap, Hreaction and Hfusion as options. Remember that melting is associated with fusion, so the answer with Hfusion is the correct answer.
Melting and boiling (vaporization) absorb energy, freezing and condensing release energy.
Heat of Fusion
Breaking the hydrogen bonds that maintain water
When ice melts it is called a physical endothermic change.
Melting point is the temperature at which something melts. Like ice has a melting point of 0 Celsius. The heat of fusion is the heat energy that is absorbed (or released) when a substance melts (or freezes) an is measured in energy units, either calories or joules. Ex. One gram of ice must absorb 80 calories of heat energy to change into liquid water.
Grams solid × mol/g × Hfusion
Absorbed.
It melts. Energy is absorbed.
the density of the sample.
heat of fusion
Melting and boiling (vaporization) absorb energy, freezing and condensing release energy.
When an ice cube gains energy, it is the same as gaining heat. So if an ice cube is getting warmer, it melts.
Heat of Fusion
Endothermic reactions are those in which energy is absorbed during the reaction. Exothermic reactions are those in which heat is evolved during the reactions.When ice melts its absorbs energy in the form of heat so why it melts,
When water molecules melt, energy is absorbed. When water molecules evaporate, energy is also absorbed. When water molecules condense energy is released. When water molecules freeze energy is also released.
When a solid melts, it is due to an increase in thermal energy to the temperature at which it melts.
One possibility is that the temperature is absorbed by a change of phase - for example, when ice melts. This is an increase in potential energy. Of course, it is also possible for energy to drain off (the object cools down while energy is being supplied).
