Given: Sample of molten Cu = 3.78 kg Δ\DeltaHfus\mathrm{H_{fus}} of Cu = 13.05 kJ/mol

(1) Calculate for the heat evolved when a 3.78 kg sample of molten Cu freezes in kilojoules as shown below:

Note: Molar mass of Cu = 63.55 g/mol

Heat evolved,ΔH=(3.78 kg Cu)(1000 g1 kg)(1 mol Cu63.55 g Cu)(13.05 kJ1 mol Cu)\text{Heat evolved,} \Delta\text{H} = \text{(3.78 kg Cu)} (\dfrac{\text{1000 g}}{\text{1 kg}}) (\dfrac{\text{1 mol Cu}}{\text{63.55 g Cu}}) (\dfrac{\text{13.05 kJ}}{\text{1 mol Cu}})

Heat evolved,ΔH=776 kJ\text{Heat evolved,} \Delta\text{H} = \text{776 kJ}

Heat evolved,ΔH=-776 kJ\text{Heat evolved,} \Delta\text{H} = \text{-776 kJ}
