Molecular clocks because the m<span>easure changes in DNA or proteins to indicate degrees of relationship among species.Molecular clocks, together with evidence from the fossil record, allows scientists to estimate how long ago various groups of organisms diverged evolutionarily from one another</span>

Given
melts at 328 ℃ + 273 = 601 K
mass = 23 g = 0.023 kg
initial temperature = 297 K
Final tmperature = 702 K
Required
Heat
Solution
1. raise the temperature(297 to 601 K)
c of lead = 0.130 kJ/kg K
Q = 0.023 x 0.13 x (601-297)
Q = 0.909 kJ
2. phase change(solid to liquid)
Q = m.Lf (melting/freezing)
Q = 0.023 x 23 kj/kg = 0.529 kJ
3. raise the temperature(601 to 702 K)
Q = 0.023 x 0.13 x (702-601)
Q = 0.302 kJ
Total heat = 1.74 kJ
