Specific Heat Capacity and Specific Latent Heat
 

Specific Heat Capacity and Specific Latent Heat problem 51


A block of ice at has a hollow in its top surface, as illustrated in the figure below.




A mass of of water at is poured into the hollow. The water has specific heat capacity . Some of the ice melts and the final mass of water in the hollow is . Assuming no heat gain from the atmosphere, calculate a value, in , for the specific latent heat of fusion of ice.
