A certain alcohol has a specific heat of 0.57 cal/g^oC and a melting point of -114^oC. You have a 150 g cup of liquid alcohol at 22^oC and then you drop a 10 g frozen piece of alcohol at -11^oC into it. After some time, the alcohol cube has melted, and the cup has come to a common temperature of 7^oC. What is the latent heat of fusion(i.e. the "L" in the Q = mL equation) for this alcohol?

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To find the latent heat of fusion L for the alcohol we can use the calorimetry equation Q m L Where ... View the full answer
