heat removed when freezing 42.1 kg H2O = ?
mass H2O x heat fusion = ? joules
42,100 g x heat fusion = ? joules.
Then mass alcohol x heat fusion = joules.
You know heat fusion alcohol (you have that in the problem or you can look it up) and you have joules, solve for mass alcohol.
Suppose that the amount of heat removed when 42.1 kg of water freezes at 0.0 °C were removed from ethyl alcohol at its freezing/melting point of −114.4 °C. How many kilograms of ethyl alcohol would freeze?
