It is not correct to say " a molecule of salt " because salt is a compound.

Explanation:

As we know a molecular bond is present in each molecule.
Salt (NaCl) is considered as a compound because it is made up of two types of elements that are sodium as well as chlorine.
On the other hand it is not considered as a molecule as it is not holding an ionic bond.
As a result we can name it as an ionic compound. Hence it is not considered as a molecule of salt.

Cold Packs

Explanation:

Endothermic reactions are reactions in which heat is absorbed from the surroundings and the container in which the reaction takes place is said to be very cold. In cold packs, ammonium nitrate is used, is dissolved in solution is said to be an example of endothermic reaction, in this the heat energy is absorbed from the surroundings. In this the solute increases the solubility with the rise in temperature, and also used in cold packs.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Latent heat of fusion of the substance is $6.49\times 10^{4}J/kg$

Explanation:

Latent heat of fusion denotes amount of energy (heat) per unit mass required to melt a solid material at constant temperature and pressure i.e. at it's melting point

Here amount of heat required = $1.20\times 10^{6}J$

Mass of unknown substance being melted = 18.5 kg

So, latent heat of fusion of the substance = (required heat energy to melt)/(mass of the unknown substance) = $\frac{1.20\times 10^{6}}{18.5}J/kg=6.49\times 10^{4}J/kg$

So, latent heat of fusion of the substance is $6.49\times 10^{4}J/kg$
