How much heat, in kJ, is released when 6 mol of water at 0°C freezes to ice at 0°C if ΔHsolid for water = –6.01 kJ/mol?

12.3 kJ

Explanation:

For a given substance, the molar heat of fusion basically tells you one thing from two perspectives

how much heat is needed in order to melt one mole of that substance at its melting point

how much heat must be removed in order to freeze one mole of that substance at its freezing point

It is very important to realize that the molar enthalpy of fusion will carry a positive sign when you're dealing with melting and a negative sign when you're dealing with freezing.

they are made of gases.

they have a spherical shape.

they make energy through fusion.
