At room temperature, Mercury (Hg) is a liquid, and methane (CH4) is a gas. The melting point of methane is -182.5 degrees Celsius. The melting point of mercury is -39 degrees Celsius. It takes more heat to melt the mercury.

Does it take more heat to vaporize 12 grams of CH4 or 12 grams of Hg?

It takes more heat to melt 12.0 grams of Hg.


How much heat energy must be absorbed to completely melt 35.0 grams of water at 0 degrees Celsius?

Ice at 0 deg C has a latent heat of melting of 335 kJ/kg. If you have 35 grams (0.035 kg), then it would take exactly 11.725 kJ to melt the ice to get 35 grams of water at 0 deg C.


How much heat is required to melt 125 g of ice?

Answer #1:125 grams of water (which is also 125 milliliters, or 125 cubic centimeters) requires 125 calories of heat to raise the temperature 1 degree Celsius. Note that calories are an energy source, and heat is a form of energy. If the ice is 1 degree from the melting point, it would take approximately 125 calories to bring the entire mass to the melting point to melt the ice. Granted, that is if the ice is in a completely closed system. Normally, air flow near the region will cause heat to disperse, carrying away the warmest regions of heat...requiring more heat (calories).=======================Answer #2:The first answer completely misses one of the most important and unique properties of water.If you have 1 cubic centimeter of ice at 0°C, it takes about 80 calories of heatjust to melt it into water with no change in temperature.To melt 125 g of ice, you need 9,972 calories of heat energy. And then, thetemperature of the 125 g of water that you have is still 0°C, but now it's water.


Does the ice cube melt faster on water or land?

The melting rate of an ice depends on the temperature of the surrounding. If the temperature is higher in the surrounding then the ice will melt at a faster rate and if the temperature is low then it will take more time to melt. The process of heat exchange is important whether it is air or water.

Is the government of the US wrong?

my hypothesis is that actually the type of liquid does affect it. take, juice,water,and soda for an example the soda will melt ice the fastest because it has acid the acid will melt the ic faster than all the others.yes.if its black it will take in more heat and the ice cube will melt

Does it take longer to melt chocolate with more sugar or less sugar?

Choclate with less sugar is easy to melt and the more sugar you have the harder it is to melt.


Does the size of ice affect its melting time?

Because the larger the piece of ice is, the longer it will take for heat to melt it. I smaller piece of ice has fewer layers that heat needs to penetrate to melt it compare to a larger piece of ice.


How many calories does it take to heat 10 grams of ice to 78 degrees C?

First, you need to melt the ice. Look up the heat of fusion of ice, and multiply that by the amount of grams.Then you need to heat the water, from zero degrees to 78 degrees. Look up the specific heat of water, and then multiply together all of the following: The specific heat; the mass; the temperature difference. Finally, add the two together.


How much energy does it take to melt ice?

Why does an ice cube melt faster in water than air?

One is the temperature of the water could be warmerSecondly when an ice cube is in water, conduction takes place. The kinetic energy of the water particles more time.moves to the ice causing it to melt. When in air radiation or convection must take place which will take
