Answer:
2400 J
Explanation:
Latent heat: This is also called hidden heat, it is the heat that is not detectable by the thermometer.
From the question,
Q = cm.................. Equation 1
Where Q = Energy, c = specific latent heat of the liquid, m = mass of the liquid.
Given: c = 4000 J/kg, m = 600 g =( 600/1000) kg = 0.6 kg
Substitute these values into equation 1
Q = 4000×0.6
Q = 2400 J
Hence the energy required is 2400 J
