The enthalpy change on freezing of mol of water at C to ice at C is: (Given kJ mol at C, J mol K, J mol K)

Answer: (4)

Solution

Enthalpy is a state function, so construct a three-step path through the known transition at C. **Step 1 — cool the liquid from C to C:**

Δ = 75.3×(0-5) = -376.5\ J.

**Step 2 — freeze at C:** freezing is the reverse of fusion, so

Δ = -6000\ J.

**Step
