Question

A student mixed 5.00 g (0.0594 mol) of solid cyclohexane, C6H12, (84.18 g mol–1) at its
melting temperature of 6.6°C with 50.0 g (0.594 mol) of liquid cyclohexane at 50.0°C in
an open yet insulated container. After thermal equilibrium was established, the
temperature of the mixture was 44.5°C. The specific heat capacity of liquid cyclohexane
is 1.809 J g–1 K–1, and is assumed to be constant over the temperature interval. From
this information, what is the molar enthalpy of fusion, ΔHfusion, of cyclohexane?
