Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The energy required to melt $6.37\text{kg}$ of aluminum is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Fusion is a process of conversion of a solid into liquid at its melting point. Heat is supplied to the system during the process of fusion. The enthalpy change of the process of fusion is given by the expression as shown below.

$\text{Δ}{\text{H}}_{\text{fus}}=\frac{\text{q}}{\text{m}}$
