The heat of fusion for naphthalene is 0.148 kJ/g. Calculate the heat energy in joules required to melt 52.95 g of naphthalene.

The heat required for melting of 52.95 g of naphthalene has been 7.8366 kJ.

The heat of fusion has been the energy required by 1g for the change in the substance.

The heat required to melt naphthalene can be given as:

Heat = mass × Heat of fusion

The given mass = 52.95 g

The heat of fusion = 0.148 kJ/g

The heat required can be given as:

Heat = 0.148 × 52.95 kJ

Heat = 7.8366 kJ.

The heat required for melting of 52.95 g of naphthalene has been 7.8366 kJ.

7836.6 J

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Heat of fusion (Hf) = 0.148 KJ/g

Mass (m) = 52.95 g

Heat (Q) required =..?

The heat (Q) required to melt the sample of nephthalene can be obtained as follow:

Q = m·Hf

Q = 52.95 × 0.148

Q = 7.8366 KJ

Finally, we shall convert 7.8366 KJ to Joule (J) in order to obtain the desired result. This can be obtained as follow:

1 kJ = 1000 J

Therefore,

7.8366 KJ = 7.8366 KJ × 1000 J / 1 KJ

7.8366 KJ = 7836.6 J

Therefore, 7.8366 KJ is equivalent to 7836.6 J

Thus, 7836.6 J of heat energy is required to melt the sample of nephthalene.
