Answer:
(a)
The given value of the enthalpy change when 1 mol of ice melts at 273 K is, H 6008 J .
Standard enthalpy of fusion for ice is defined as the amount of heat required for 1 mol of ice to
0 C 273 K
change its state from solid to liquid at and constant pressure. Thus,

The specific heat for liquid water is taken as pl .
C 38.00 J mol K
The specific heat for solid water is taken as ps .
Amount of supercooled water that solidifies is 100 g. Molecular weight of water is 18 g/mol.
Convert this mass of water into moles of water as:
100 g
n 5.56 mol
18 g/mol
The heat released when 5.56 mol of supercooled water is solidified is calculated as:
Q H1 H 2 H 3
Here,
H1 is the heat required to raise the temperature of water from 250 K to 273 K.
H 2 is the heat required to solidify liquid water to solid at 273 K which is negative of the heat
of fusion at 273 K. Use this value from part (a).
H 3 is the heat released when temperature of ice is lowered from 273 K to 250 K.
Thus,
