So the reason you've been disagreeing with me is that your own calculations came out the same as mine?No, you clearly neglected to say the "raise one gram one degree" part when you stated the factor of 540. Here's exactly what you said:
Because I didn't fall for your miscalculations/misrepresentations, you're now accusing me of the crimes you've committed:
So here's your story:
You were off by more than two orders of magnitude.
- First you ignored specific heat and the distinction between moles and kilograms.
- Then you ignored the difference in units between specific heat and heat of fusion so you could claim that the latter is "540 times larger".
- Then, after I had again pointed out that the specific heat requires as much energy as the heat of fusion even under your own impossible assumptions, you quoted a passage in which NIST made the same point I had made and pretended the agreement between NIST and myself involved some kind of contradiction.
- You then demanded I replace your miscalculations with the correct calculation.
- When I pointed out that I had already done so (by quoting Sunstealer) and noted that your factor of 540 was off by more than two orders of magnitude, you pretended I had been talking about something else.
- In your most recent post, quoted above, you have finally agreed that the energy required to raise the temperature to the melting point is comparable to the heat of fusion, instead of the "540 times larger" you had originally claimed.*
You're "sad sad sad" to have been caught out.
LOL you're too funny. I did the same calculation on two units (kJ and calories) and came to the same relationship.
I don't know the temperature there. Neither do you.Why don't you address the relevant point here. What is the temperature of the metal there. Because a great deal many people here have claimed that to be molten aluminium or copper or lead or what not.
Our little diversion began when I agreed with Sunstealer that you know next to nothing about chemistry. You then proceeded to demonstrate our point. Thanks for playing.
Mixes with it eh? So how does this "mixing" occur and over how much time? Remember that the steel and sulphur are solid at this time. I know the answer, do you?
