The heat to transform the metal from solid to liquid phase at the melting point, which depends on the metal’s heat of fusion. Calculate the unit energy for melting if the melting temperature is 1000K? (K = 3.33 * 10-6).

Correct Answer: 3.33
If we consider a fair approximation the total amount of heat or the quantity of the heat can be calculated using the following equation Um = K(Tm)2, where Um = the unit energy for melting and Tm is the melting point of the metal. Um is the total amount or quantity of heat required to melt a unit volume of metal taking the initial temperature as room temperature.
