Latent Heat of Phase Change Calculations

This video demonstrates a solution to a latent heat problem. The problem comes from a set of interactive practice problems used in class, which addresses the CA standard: Students know how to solve problems involving heat flow and temperature changes, using known values of specific heat and latent heat of phase change.

NOTE: I assume that you have the use of a periodic table. In working quantitative problems, I will usually round masses to the nearest gram. These examples demonstrate a considerable focus on the rules for working problems without a calculator.
