q( Joules ) = mass *specific heat of water *( temp final - temp initial)( in Celsius)

q = m Cg ∆T

q = 420 g x 4.180 J/gC (100 - 0 oC)

= 175560 Joules

in 3 significant figures

= 1.76 X 105 Joules

What is the difference about the behaviour of water when it is heated or cooled?

When water is heated, it absorbs energy and its temperature rises, eventually reaching its boiling point where it turns into steam. When water is cooled, it releases energy and its temperature drops, eventually reaching its freezing point where it turns into ice.


Why can boiling points and freezing points be used to identify substance?

It's because substances have different boiling point and freezing point. By finding the exact boiling point and freezing point, you can identify a substance. Keep in mind that a material's melting point is the same as its freezing point. These are just different terms for the same thing, it just depends on whether energy is being removed from a substance (freezing) or if energy is being added to a substance (melting). The same thing also applies to the boiling/condensation point.


What will the nonvolatile solute do to the freezing point of a solvent?

This is the property of freezing point depression and boiling point elevation. This is because of the solute absorbing the energy added to the system to heat its own molecules and so it would require more energy to boil the solvent. Likewise for freezing point depression, the molecules retain more energy.

What are the difference between freezing point and boiling point?

The freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid, while the boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas. The freezing point is typically lower than the boiling point for a substance.
