Question:

An unknown material has a normal melting/freezing point of -25.0°C, and the liquid phase has a specific heat capacity of 160 J/(kg · C°). One-tenth of a kilogram of the solid at -25.0°C is put into a 0.150-kg aluminum calorimeter cup that contains 0.100 kg of glycerin. The temperature of the cup and the glycerin is initially 27.0°C. All the unknown material melts, and the final temperature at equilibrium is 20.0°C. The calorimeter neither loses energy to nor gains energy from the external environment. What is the latent heat of fusion of the unknown material?
