Molar Heat of Fusion experiment question?
In one experiment heat was added to one mole of an unknown solid, at its normal melting point, at a constant rate of 13.1 J/s. If it took 2.33 minutes to melt all of the solid, what was the molor heat of fusion (in kJ/mol) of the unknown? Was the unknown water? Explain.
2. The attempt at a solution
13.1 J/s x (2.33 min x 60 sec) = 1831.38 J
