Given, mass of titanium metal = 144 g

Heat of fusion of titanium metal= 18.7 J/g

Heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy needed to change the state of one gram of a substance from solid to liquid or vice-versa.

Thus, 18.7 J of heat is needed to melt one gram of titanium metal.

Therefore, heat needed to melt 144 g of titanium metal = 18.7×144

= 2692.8 J
