A molten metal of mass 150 g is kept at its melting point 800oC. When it is allowed to freeze at the same temperature, it gives out 75,000 J of heat energy. (a) What is the specific latent heat of the metal ? (b) If the specific heat capacity of metal is 200 J kg−1 K−1, how much additional heat energy will the metal give out in cooling to −50o C ? |
