A polynomial of degree zero is a constant term

The grouping method of factoring can still be used when only some of the terms share a common factor A True B False

The sum or difference of p and q is the of the x-term in the trinomial

A number a power of a variable or a product of the two is a monomial while a polynomial is the of monomials

What happens to melting point of ice when salt is added to it?

Melting point decreases (becomes more negative)


Why there is no change in temperature when freezing and melting of ice into water?

When you add the heat of fusion (also called enthalpy of fusion) to ice at zero degrees centigrade, the energy involved serves to change the form of the material from ice to water, and it does not increase temperature. See link.


Is ice melting ice a physical or chemical change?

melting ice a physical change


Does the sign of the enthalpy of fusion change depending on the direction of the phase change for example the enthalpy of fusion of water is 6025 JK per mol and going from liquid to ice is -6025?

The sign only depends on whether it's an exothermic or endothermic reaction. So no, it doesn't depend on phase change, and in some reactions, there is no phase change. But you will find correlation between the sign and the direction of the phase change because they will either be endothermic or exothermic. The enthalpy of fusion is positive because melting is an endothermic reaction (think - you put in heat to melt an ice cube). Endothermic reactions are represented by positive enthalpy. Conversely, freezing is an exothermic process (heat is taken out of the molecules in order to slow them down). We represent exothermic reactions with negative enthalpy.Always be conscious of the sign when working with thermochemistry calculations. Unlike the usual math, the signs of these numbers are somewhat arbitrary. We say that the system is losing heat in an exothermic reaction; thus, the energy must be represented by a negative. However, there are a few areas (like electrical engineering) where an exothermic reaction is represented by a positive number (because usually the goal is to produce heat).

Explain the combined effects of entropy and enthalpy during the melting of ice?

There are two tendencies in nature: things tend to go to the lowest possible energy (enthalph) level (delta H = negative) and the highest possible state of disorder (entropy)

What is thermal energy of melting?

its the latent heat of fusion or simply Enthalpy of fusion.ie,this heat is absorbed or added at melting temperature.for eg latent heat of fusion of ice= 6.02 KJ/mol (80cal/gm).

Molar heat of fusion of ice?

The molar enthalpy fusion of ice is larger than the enthalpy of many other solids. The amount of energy needed to melt one mole of a substance is its molar enthalpy of fusion.


How does molar enthalpy of fussion of ice compare with the molar enthalpy of fussion of other solids?
