Let's work through one final example that combines specic heat and latent heat. Gallium is an elemental metal that has a very low melting pointonly 293C (or 86.5F). How much total heat must be transferred to a 200 g sample of gallium, initially at 00C, to melt it completely at a final temperature of 293C? Gallium's specic heat is 0.371 J/(g - C), and its latent heat of fusion is 80.2 J/g. First, nd the amount of heat that must be transferred into the gallium to raise its temperature from [10C to 29.8C. :ll Now, find the heat required to melt all of the solid gallium now that it has reached the melting point. l l1 Finally, how much total heat was required to turn the solid gallium sample at {10C into liquid at 293C? :lJ
