Problem 1
The element mercury, Hg, is a silvery liquid at room temperature. The normal
freezing point of mercury is –38.9 °C, and its molar enthalpy of fusion is
ΔHfusion = 2.29 kJ/mol. What is the entropy change of the system when
10.0g of Hg(l) freezes at the normal freezing point? Molar Mass of Hg(l) =
200.59 g/mol

Problem 2

Aluminum has a density lower than those of other common metals, at

approximately one third that of steel. The normal freezing point of aluminum
is 660.3°C, and its molar enthalpy of fusion is
ΔHfusion = 8.66 kJ/mol. What is the entropy change of the system when 88 g
of Al(s) freezes at the normal freezing point?
(Molar mass of Al = 26.98 g/mol)

Problem 2

Given: Solution:
–ΔHfusion = –8.66 kJ/mol

Aluminum freezing point = 660.3°C

Freezing point:
Aluminum weight = 88 g 660.3°C + 273.15 = 933.45 K

Aluminum molar mass = 26.98 g/mol Final Answer:

Problem 3
Gold is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. It is a soft, yellow
metal with a beautiful lustrous sheen. It is the most malleable and ductile of
all the elements and a single gram can be beaten into a one square meter
sheet of gold leaf. The normal freezing point of gold is 1063°C, and its molar
enthalpy of fusion is ΔHfusion = 13.2 kJ/mol. What is the entropy change of
the system when 42g of Au(s) freezes at the normal freezing point? Molar
mass of Gold = 197 g/mol

Problem 4
Copper is a reddish metal with a face-centered cubic crystalline structure. It
reflects red and orange light and absorbs other frequencies in the visible
spectrum, due to its band structure, so it as a nice reddish color. It is
malleable, ductile, and an extremely good conductor of both heat and
electricity. The normal freezing point of copper is 1085°C, and its molar
enthalpy of fusion is ΔHfusion = 13.2 kJ/mol. What is the entropy change of
the system when 95g of Cu(s) freezes at the normal freezing point? Molar
mass of Cu = 63.55 g/mol
