Q.10. Calculate the enthalpy change on freezing of 1.0 mol of water at 10.0°C to ice at –

10.0°C. fusH = 6.03 kJ mol-1  at 0°C.
CpH2Ol = 75.3 J mol-1 K-1
CpH2Os = 36.8 J mol-1 K-1

NEETprep Answer:
Total enthalpy change involved in the transformation is the sum of the following changes:
(a) Energy change involved in the transformation of 1 mol of water at 10°C to 1 mol of water at 0°C.
(b) Energy change involved in the transformation of 1 mol of water at 0° to 1 mol of ice at 0°C.
(c) Energy change involved in the transformation of 1 mol of ice at 0°C to 1 mol of ice at –10°C.
Total H=CpH2OClT+Hfreezing+CpH2OsT

= (75.3 J mol-1 K-1) (0 – 10)K + (–6.03 × 103 J mol-1 ) + (36.8 J mol-1 K-1) (–10 – 0)K

= –753 J mol-1 – 6030 J mol-1 – 368 J mol-1
= –7151 J mol-1
= –7.151 kJ mol-1
Hence, the enthalpy change involved in the transformation is –7.151 kJ mol-1.
