…most accurate trial presented the Lf of milk as 2.8X10^5J/kg. However, an analysis of error suggested that the error in this experiment was approximately 2.9%, suggesting that the actual latent heat of fusion for milk was closer to 2.88X10^5J/kg or 2.72X10^5J/kg. The temperature versus time data was an exponential decay model. Finally, the experiment was able to show the latent heat of fusion for milk with some amount of error.
