Homework Statement
the latent heat of fusion for this metal is 500Cal/kg. The latent heat of vaporization is 600Cal/kg and specific heat of the liquid metal is 500C/kg K. How much heat is needed to melt an 8kg block of this metal when its temperature is exactly at the melting point?
Homework Equations
T= kelvins
c=specific heat
Q is heat needed
Q= m*c*delta T
Q=m*Latent heat (either fusion or vapor)
The Attempt at a Solution
Q= 8 * 500Cal/kg
Will someone please sho wme how to do this>?
