See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

The given figure shows 5 stages of motion: 1) Heating the solid phase sample until it reaches the temperature of melting $Q_1=\bf 20\;\rm kJ$ (the first tilting straight line). 2) Melting the whole sample at constant temperature $Q_2=40-20=\bf 20\;\rm kJ$ (the first horizontal line) until it converts to a liquid phase. 3) Heating the liquid phase sample to the boiling point (the second tilting straight line) $Q_3=120-40=\bf 80\;\rm kJ$. 4) Evaporating the whole sample at constant temperature $Q_4=180-120=\bf 60\;\rm kJ$ (the second horizontal line) until it converts to a vapor phase. 5) Heating the vapor phase sample until it reaches the temperature of 60$^\circ$C $Q_5=200-180=\bf 20\;\rm kJ$ (the third tilting straight line). Now we can easily answer the questions: ---- a) We need to use the first stage of heating: $$Q_1=mc_{solid}\Delta T_1$$ Thus, $$c_{solid}=\dfrac{Q_1}{m\Delta T_1}$$ Plugging the known; $$c_{solid}=\dfrac{20\times 10^3}{(0.5)[-20-(-40)]}$$ $$c_{solid}=\color{red}{\bf 2000}\;\rm J/kg\cdot K$$ _________________________________________________________ b) By the same approach, we need to use the third stage: $$c_{liquid}=\dfrac{Q_3}{m\Delta T_3}$$ Plugging the known; $$c_{liquid}=\dfrac{80\times 10^3}{(0.5)[40-(-20)]}$$ $$c_{liquid}=\color{red}{\bf 2667}\;\rm J/kg\cdot K$$ _________________________________________________________ c) Melting temperature is at stage 2, the first horizontal line which is $$T_{melting}=\color{red}{\bf -20}^\circ\;\rm C$$ And the boiling temperature is at stage 4, the second horizontal line which is $$T_{boiling }=\color{red}{\bf 40}^\circ\;\rm C$$ _________________________________________________________ d) Latent heat of fusion is given from the second stage: $$L_{\rm f}=\dfrac{Q_2}{m}$$ Plugging the known; $$L_{\rm f}=\dfrac{20\times 10^3}{0.5}$$ $$L_{\rm f}=\color{red}{\bf 40\times 10^3}\;\rm J/kg $$ Latent heat of vaporization is given from the fourth stage: $$L_{\rm v}=\dfrac{Q_4}{m}$$ Plugging the known; $$L_{\rm v}=\dfrac{60\times 10^3}{0.5}$$ $$L_{\rm v}=\color{red}{\bf 120\times 10^3}\;\rm J/kg $$
