What is the specific latent heat of fusion for a substance that takes 550 kj to melt 14 kg at 262 k? a. 3.9 x 10^4 j kg -1 b. 1.99 j kg -1 c. 29.39 j kg -1 d. 39.29 j kg -1

- The right choice is A. .

Solution:- Latent heat of fusion means the heat required to melt the solid at constant temperature means there is no change in temperature only the solid changes to liquid. So, it is a solid to liquid phase change.

where q is the heat required to convert solid to liquid, m is the mass and is the latent heat of fusion.

From given info, 550 kJ that is 550000 J of heat is required to melt 14 kg of solid at 262K temperature. Let's rearrange the equation for latent heat of fusion and plug in the values in it.

=

If we round this value to two sig figs and write in scientific notations then it becomes .

So, the right choice is A. .

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²

orbital diagram of c is as shown here in the image.

i'm pretty sure it is letter c.) car
