(a)[2]
State the meaning of specific latent heat.
(b)
A student uses the apparatus shown in Fig. 3.1 to find a value for the specific latent heat of fusion of ice.
(b(i))[1]
Between time $0$ and time $10.0$ minutes, $65\,\text{g}$ of ice melts. Use Fig. 3.2 to find the mass of ice melted between time $12.0$ minutes and time $22.0$ minutes.
(b(ii))[1]
Explain why the rate at which thermal energy is transferred from the surroundings to the ice remains constant even though the power of the heater is changed.
(b(iii))[4]
Determine a value for the specific latent heat of fusion $L$ for ice.
(b(iv))[2]
Calculate the rate at which thermal energy passes from the surroundings to the ice.
