asked 05/27/22Given the following information for substance X:
Specific Heat (c) of solid phase: 2.0 J/g°C
Heat of Fusion (Lf): 100 J/g
Specific Heat (c) of liquid phase: 5.0 J/g°C
Heat of Vaporization (Lv): 1000 J/g
Specific Heat (c) of vapor phase: 1.0 J/g°C
Calculate the total heat energy in Joules needed to convert 27.1. g of substance X from -2 °C to 48 °C?

From the figure..
melting point = 5ºC
boiling point = 55ºC
For the following calculations, we'll use q, m, C, ∆T, ∆Hf, and ∆Hvap
q = heat
m = mass
C = specific heat
∆T = change in temperature
∆Hf = heat of fusion
∆Hvap = heat of vaporization
Best to answer this type of question in steps.
Step1: heat to convert 27.1 g of solid x from -2º to 5º
q = mC∆T = (27.1 g)(2.0 J/gº)(7º) = 379 J
Step 2: heat to melt 27.1 g of solid x to form a liquid at the melting point. This is just a phase change.
q = m∆Hf = (27.1 g)(100 J/g) = 2710 J
Step 3: heat to raise temperature of liquid x from 5º to 48º
q = mC∆T = (27.1 g)(5.0 J/gº)(43º) = 5827 J
Total all the heat values
379 J + 2710 J + 5827 J = 8916 J = 8920 J (answer to 3 sig. figs.)
