Step 1
However, the problem does not provide the specific heat capacity of aluminum, which is necessary to calculate the heat required for this step. Second, we need to melt the aluminum at 660 °C. The heat required for this step can be calculated using the formula Q = Show more…

How much heat must be added to $0.45 \mathrm{kg}$ of aluminum to change it from a solid at $130^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to a liquid at $660^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ (its melting point)? The latent heat of fusion for aluminum is $4.0 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{kg}$.
You wish to melt a 3 -kg block of aluminum, which is initially at $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. How much energy, in joules, is required to heat the block to its melting point of $660^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ? How much energy, in joules, is required to melt the aluminum without changing its temperature?
