    Fusion Heat Ice
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the heat of fusion of ice, the experiment involves a brass calorimeter weighing 50 g with a specific heat of 0.09 cal/g-°C. The mass of ice is 20.45 g at 0°C, and the final temperature (TF) is 20°C, while the mass of water (mH2O) is 200 g at 30°C. The heat exchange between the ice and water must be analyzed to determine the heat absorbed by the ice as it melts. Utilizing the provided data and following the forum's guidelines for assistance can enhance understanding of the calculation process. Properly documenting attempts is essential for receiving help in the forum.

Calculate heat of fusion.?
find the heat of fusion of ice using the ffg. data obtained from an experiment:

wt. of brass calorimeter = 50 g
specific heat of brass calorimeter = 0.09 cal/g-°C
m of ice= 20.45 g at 0°C
TF= 20 °C
mH2O = 200 g at 30°C

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
