How much heat must be spent to melt a 3 kg lead ingot heated to a temperature of 327 ° C?

Initial data: m (mass of the lead ingot to be melted) = 3 kg; t (temperature to which the ingot was heated) = 327 ºС (melting point).

Reference values: λ (specific heat of fusion of lead) = 25 kJ / kg = 25 * 10 ^ 3 J / kg.

The amount of heat that will be spent on melting the ingot is determined by the formula: Q = λ * m.

Calculation: Q = 25 * 10 ^ 3 * 3 = 75 * 10 ^ 3 J (75 kJ).

Answer: It is necessary to spend 75 kJ of heat.
