Question 1 Report

(a) Explain what is meant by the following statement. The specific latent heat of fusion of ice is \(3.4 \times 10^{5}Jkg^{-1}\).

(b) Describe an experiment to determine the specific latent heat of fusion of ice. State two precautions necessary to obtain an accurate result.

(c) Using the kinetic theory of matter, explain why ice can change to water at 0°C without any change in temperature.
