A 150 g sample of substance X is initially at 25 °C. Substance X has a melting point of 120 °C and a boiling point of 250 °C. Its specific heat capacity is 0.5 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹ in the solid state and 0.8 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹ in the liquid state. The latent heat of fusion is 60 J g⁻¹ and the latent heat of vaporisation is 200 J g⁻¹. The sample is supplied with 45 000 J of energy. Assuming no heat loss, determine (a) the mass of X that has been vapourised and (b) the temperature of the remaining liquid.
