Q.

A given substance of mass m is in solid state at certain temperature. Arrange the following steps in proper sequence to calcualte the total heat energy required to just convert the substance completely into gaseous state.

(a). Note down the specific latent heat of vaporization of the substance and calculate the heat supplied to convert from liquid to gaseous state using the formula.

(b) Note down the melting point of the substance and calculate the heat supplied to increase the temperature of the solid to its melting point.

(c) Note down the boiling point of the substance and calculate the heat supplied to increase the temperature of the substance from melting point to its boiling point.

(d). Add all the heat energies, it gives the resultant hea supplied to the solid to just convert it into gaseous state.

(e) Note down the specific latent heat of fusion of the substance and calculate the heat supplied to convert the substance from solid state to liquid state.
