Explanation / Answer

When we cool magnesium in mold from 704.0 oC to 25.0 oC until it becomes solid at 25.0 °C, we are proceeding through 3 steps, and you have to make the calculations for each of those steps.

q = c · m · T { where q = heat, c = specific heat cont. m = mass,T = temperature diferece }

Heat of fusion of magnesium : Hf = 368.3 J/g
Heat of vaporization of magnesium : Hv = 5424 J/g
Specific heat of solid magnesium : c = 1.017 J/gC;
Specific heat of liquid magnesium : c = 1.339 J/gC

step 1)

Find the heat released from liquid magnesium cooling to the temperature by 55.0 °C from 704.0 °C to 649.0 °C.

q1 = m .cliquid Mg T1

q1 = (22.9 g) (1.339 JgC) ( 55 ) C

q1 = 1686.4705 J

step 2)

Find the latent heat released to freez Mg liquid at 649.0 °C into solid Mg at 649.0 °C.

q2 = m Hf

q2 = (22.9 g) (368.3 J/g)

q2 = 8434.07 J

step 3)

Find the sensible heat released to decrease the temperature of Mg solid by 624.0 °C from 649.0 °C to 25.0 °C.

q3 = m c T3

q3 = (22.9 g) (1.017 JgC) (624 )C

q3 = 14532.5232 J

total amount of energy released to mold from Mg liquid at 704.0 C to solid Mg at 25.0 C will be the sum of all the calculated energies

qtotal = q1+ q2 + q3

qtotal  = 24653.0637 J

qtotal = ~ 24.65 KJ
