Under similar conditions enthalpy of freezing is exactly opposite to
Options
- Aenthalpy of fusion
- Benthalpy of vaporization
- Centhalpy of solution
- Denthalpy of atomization
Correct answer
A. enthalpy of fusion
Step-by-step solution
For the reaction, H ₂ O _ ( s ) [ freezing ] fusion H ₂ O _ ( l ) Under similar conditions of 0^ C and 1 atm pressure, _ fus H is +6.01 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹ , whereas _ free H is -6.01 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹ . Thus, enthalpy of freezing is exactly opposite to enthalpy of fusion.
