Question

Enthalpy of transition when amorphous boron [ B (amorphous)] is converted into crystalline boron [B(crystalline)] is $- 0.4 kcal mole^{- 1}$ at 298 K . Calculate the heat change (in kcal) when 247.5 gm of crystalline boron is to be converted into amorphous form. (Atomic mass of boron $= 11$ ) at the same temperature.

Answer:

9

Solution:

B(crystalline) ⟶ B(amorphous) ;

$Δ H = + 0.4 kcal mol^{- 1}$

for $247.5 gm = \frac{247.5}{11} \times 0.4 = 9$
