Question

2 The substance has a mass of 0.50 kg.

Answer 1

Answer:

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  = $\frac{34000}{0.5}$   = 68000J/kg
