Answer:
See the answer below.
Explanation:
The latent heat of fusion is defined as the amount of energy needed to make a phase change from solid to liquid. And it can be calculated by means of the following expression:
[tex]Q_{fusion}=m*Dh[/tex]
where:
Qfusion = Heat Energy [J]
m = mass = 0.65 [kg]
Dh = latent heat fusion = 330000[J/kg]
[tex]Q_{fusion}=0.65*330000\\Q_{fusion}=214500[J][/tex]
2)
We know that energy can be calculated from power, where power is defined as the relationship between energy over time.
[tex]P=E/t[/tex]
where:
P = power = 60 [w]
E = energy [J]
t = time = 5 [min] = 300 [s]
[tex]E=P*t\\E=50*300\\E=15000[J][/tex]
The mass change due to the process is equal to:
[tex]m=282-274\\m=8[g]=0.008[kg][/tex]
Now using the following equation for the latent heat of Fusion, we can calculate this value:
[tex]Q=m*Dh\\Dh =Q/m\\Dh=15000/0.008\\Dh=1875000[J/kg][/tex]
