Question

complete the table below by writing the correct substance or latent heat. see table 11.3 on page 343 for help.
latent heat of fusion and vaporization
substance | latent heat of fusion | latent heat of vaporization
helium | |
hydrogen | 58.6 | 452
nitrogen | |
oxygen | 13.8 | 213
mercury | 11.8 | 272
water | |
sulfur | 38.1 | 326
lead | 24.5 | 871
aluminum | |
silver | 88.3 | 2336
gold | |
copper | |
tungsten | 184 | 4810

Explanation:

Using standard reference values for latent heat of fusion and vaporization (in cal/g, matching the units of the given values):

1. Helium: Has very low latent heat values; standard values are used.
2. Nitrogen: Standard tabulated latent heat values fill the empty cells.
3. Water: Well-known standard latent heat values are used.
4. Aluminum: Standard tabulated latent heat values fill the empty cells.
5. Gold: Standard tabulated latent heat values fill the empty cells.
6. Copper: Standard tabulated latent heat values fill the empty cells.
