Answer: Potential energy
Explanation: i hope i wasnt toooo late
The problem applies Charles' law since constant pressure with varying volume and temperature are given. Assuming ideal gas law, the equation to be used is

=

. We make sure the temperatures are expressed in Kelvin, hence the given added with 273. The volume 2 is equal to 25.2881 liters.
I would say the energy has to be decreased by 87 kj because the bonding is held together by 87 kj so removing that should prevent the bonding from taking place or reverse it I believe. In other words, a certain amount of energy is required to hold the bond together and in the absence of that energy, the bonding will not take place.
B is the answer
I double checked hope it helps
Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below :
Suppose a substance has a heat of fusion equal to 45 cal/g and a specific heat of 0.75 cal/g°C in the liquid state. If 5.0 kcal of heat are applied to a 50 g sample of the substance at a temperature of 24°C, what will its new temperate be? What state will the sample be in? (melting point of the substance = 27°C; specific heat of the solid =0.48 cal/g°C; boiling point of the substance = 700°C)
Explanation:
1.a) Heat energy required to raise the temperature of the substance to its melting point, H = mcΔT
Mass of solid sample = 50 g; specific heat of solid = 0.75 cal/g; ΔT = 27 - 24 = 3 °C
H = 50 × 0.75 × 3 = 112.5 calories
b) Heat energy required to convert the solid to liquid at its melting point at 27°C, H = m×l, where l = 45 cal/g
H = 50 × 45 = 2250 cal
c) Total energy used so far = 112.5 cal + 2250 cal = 2362.5 calories.
Amount of energy left = 5000 - 2362.5 = 2637.5 cal
The remaining energy is used to heat the liquid
H = mcΔT
Where specific heat of the liquid, c = 0.75 cal/g/°C, H = 2637.5 cal, ΔT = temperature change
2637.5 = 50 × 0.75 x ΔT
ΔT = 2637.5 / ( 50*0.75)
ΔT = 70.3 °C
Final temperature of sample = (70.3 + 27) °C = 97.3 °C
The substance will be in liquid state at a temperature of 97.3 °C
i hope that this eg gonna help u
