As a physicist, you put heat into a 500.0-g solid sample at the rate of 10.0 kJ/min, while recording its temperature as a function of time .You plot your data and obtain the graph shown in Fig. 17.30.
(a) What is the latent heat of fusion for this solid?
(b) What are the specific heats of the liquid and solid states of the material?
