Problem

A 25.0 g sample of a pure solid begins to melt at 78 °C while being heated by an electric element that supplies energy at a constant rate of 120 W. The plateau on the heating curve corresponding to melting lasts exactly 85 s. Calculate the molar enthalpy of fusion, ΔHfus\Delta H_{\text{fus}}, of the substance in kJ mol⁻¹. (Molar mass = 62.0 g mol⁻¹)
