The melting point of copper is 1,080^(@)C and its heat of fusion is 200kJ/kg. if a copper coin at this temperature is completely melted by the absorption of 2,000 J of heat, what is the mass of the coin?

Answer»

`(1)/(1,080kg)`
`(1)/(540kg)`
`(1)/(108kg)`
`(1)/(100kg)`

Solution :phase changes obey the EQUATION Q=mL, where m is the mass of the sample and L is the latent heat of transformation. Ini this case, we FIND that
`m=(Q)/(L)=(2000J)/(200kJ//kg)=(2000J)/(200xx10^(3)J//kg)=(1)/(100)kg`.
