2 The substance has a mass of 0.50 kg. 34 000 J of energy is transferred to the substance to completely melt it.
The temperature of the substance does not change during this time.
Calculate the specific latent heat of fusion of the substance.
Use an equation from the Equations List.

68000J/kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

 Mass of the substance  = 0.5kg

 Quantity of heat transferred to the body  = 34000J

Unknown:

Specific latent heat of fusion = ?

Solution:

The specific latent heat is usually involve in phase changes;

  H  = mL

H is the quantity of heat supplied

m is the mass

L is the specific latent heat

 Insert the parameters and solve;

     34000 = 0.5 x L

         L  =   = 68000J/kg

answer

fusion: the energy source of stars. the energy released from the collapse of the gas into a protostar causes the center of the protostar to become extremely hot. when the core is hot enough, nuclear fusion commences. fusion is the process where two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, releasing energy.
