Question

i am going crazy trying to figure this out. i just completed an experiment with heats of fusion and vaporization but for some reason i cant answer and explain this question

would 20.0g of steam at 100 degree celsius be enough to melt 20.0g of ice at 0 degrees celsius?

please break it down so i understand!

Answer 1

You're posting a question which I answered last night. If you don't understand that answer let me know what you don't understand (in detail) and we can go from there. But there is no point in answering more than once.

Answer 2

i did respond. at least i hope i did this is my frist time using this site. I don't understand the heat vap or heat fusion. am i multiplying the mass of steam by the literature value of heat vaporization (40.67 kj/mol)? and then doing the same for fusion (6.01)?
is this correct?

20gsteam * 40.67 = 813.4 (q1)
20gice *6.01 = 120.2 (q2)

q1(813.4) > q2(120.2)

if this s right where does the temperature vales have to do with this problem? and because steam is greater than ice im assuming the answer is yes?

so lost..
