A new liquid substance has been discovered that freezes at -23°C. A scientist poured the liquid (which was at -23°C) Into a 0.6 kg cup (Coup = 793 J/kg-K) which caused some, but not all, of the liquid to freeze (only 0.216 kg of the liquid froze). As a result, the liquid lost 40,000 J of heat until thermal equilibrium was reached. Determine the latent heat of the substance & the Initial temperature of the cup. Topul °℃
