How much heat is required to melt 20 g of gold at 1064.18 °C with a heat of fusion of 64 J/g *

1280J are required.

Explanation:

Heat of fusion is defined as the amount of heat required to change its state from liquid to solid at its melting point at constant pressure.

As heat of fusion of gold is 64J/g, there are required 64J to melt 1g of gold at its melting point. The energy required to melt 20g is:

20g * (64J/g) =

1280J are required

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
