Chaz Huber · Answer 1

The equation to be used to calculate the heat release when solid melts is the enthalpy of melting. It is represented as H = mCpT where H is the heat released after phase change, m is the mass of the substance, Cp is the specific heat capacity of the substance and T is the change in temperature.

Lillianna Howell · Answer 2

The energy change of a melting solid is called the enthalpy of melting and is explained by the equation H = mCT where:

H is the heat released after phase change,

m is the mass of the substance,

C is the specific heat capacity of the substance and

T is the change in temperature.
