Q3medium

A 5kg5\,\text{kg} block of a substance is heated. Its temperature-versus-heat-supplied graph is shown. If the substance melts at 100C100^\circ\text{C}, what is its latent heat of fusion? (Assume the graph shows a plateau at 100C100^\circ\text{C} from 100kJ100\,\text{kJ} to 300kJ300\,\text{kJ} of heat supplied).
