Given Data: Heat supplied = 550 Kilo Joule.
Mass of substance = 14 kilogram.
Q= ml
where Q is the quantity of heat, m is mass of substance and L is specific latent heat.
Thus, L = Q/m
= 550/14 = 39.3 kJ/Kg.
The specific latent heat of fusion is considered to be the heat needed to change 1 kg of substance from solid state to liquid state and vice versa at constant temperature.
