The mass of melted gold to release the energy would be 3, 688. 8 Kg
<h3>How to determine the mass</h3>The formula for quantity of energy is given thus;
Q = n × HF
Where n represents number of moles
HF represents heat of fusion
To find the number of moles, we have
235.0 = n × 12.550
number of moles = = 18. 725 moles
Note that molar mass of Gold is 197g/ mol
Let's note that;
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 18. 725 × 197
Mass = 3, 688. 8 Kg
Thus, the mass of melted gold to release the energy would be 3, 688. 8 Kg
