Answer:
m = 35 g = 0.035 kg
Explanation:
The amount of heat required by a specific mass of wax to be melted at its melting point can be given by the following formula:
[tex]Q = mL[/tex]
where,
Q = Heat Supplied by the Heater = 7700 J
m = mass of wax melted = ?
L = Latent Heat of Fusion of Wax = 220 J/g
Therefore,
[tex]7700\ J = m(220\ J/g)\\m = \frac{7700\ J}{220\ J/g}\\\\[/tex]
m = 35 g = 0.035 kg
