A molten metal of mass $150 g$ is kept at its melting point $800^{\circ} C$. When it is allowed to freeze at the same temperature, it gives out $75,000 J$ of heat energy.
(a) What is the specific latent heat of the metal?
(b) If the specific heat capacity of metal is $200 Jkg ^{-1} K ^{-1}$, how much additional heat energy will the metal give out in cooling to $-50^{\circ} C$ ?
