1.00 kg of copper and 1.00 kg of nickel are both heated continuously at the same

rate. Determine which metal will completely melt first. Use a value of 205 kJ/kg for

the specific latent heat of fusion of copper and use a value of 297 kJ/kg for the

specific latent heat of fusion of nickel.

Copper

Explanation:

Since the heat of Fussion of copper is less than that for nickel it means copper melts faster than nickel.

1.00 kg of copper and 1.00 kg of nickel are both heated continuously at the samerate. Determine which metal will completely melt first. Use a value of 205 kJ/kg forthe specific latent heat of fusion of copper and use a value of 297 kJ/kg for thespecific latent heat of fusion of nickel.
