Respuesta :

The minimum amount of heat needed to melt it to a liquid will be 569.067 kJ.

What is enthalpy of fusion?

The minimum amount of heat needed to melt it to a liquid is known as the enthalpy of fusion.

The formula for the enthalpy of the fusion is;

[tex]\rm L_f=Q/m \\\\ L_f=mCdt/m \\\\ L_f= Cdt \\\\ L_f= 899 J/kg^0C \times (660^0-27^0) \\\\ L_f= 569,067 \ J \\\\\ L_f=569.067 \ kJ[/tex]

Hence, the minimum amount of heat needed to melt it to a liquid will be 569.067 kJ.
