Experiment #8 Latent Heat of Fusion The group experimented on the latent heat of fusion of ice using an aluminum calorimeter, ice, hot water, and thermometer. In order to determine the latent heat of fusion of ice, the negative of the sum of heat lost by calorimeter, water, and ice water, was divided to the mass of the ice cube used. The experimental latent heat of fusion was checked by computing for the percentage error.

1. Since fusion and melting do not result into a temperature change, where does the energy go? The energy is used to weaken the hydrogen bonds between water molecules.

2. What source of error is present in this experiment that was not present in the previous experiment? The degree of dryness of ice.

3. How much heat is absorbed by an electric refrigerator in changing 2.00 kg of water at 15.0 C to ice at 0.0C?

4. Determine the resulting temperature when 150.00 g of ice at 0.0C is mixed with 300.00 g of water at 50.0 C.
