3. A calorimeter contains 500 g of water at 25°C. You place a hand warmer containing 200 g of liquid sodium acetate inside the calorimeter. When the sodium acetate finishes crystallizing, the temperature of the water inside the calorimeter is 39.4°C. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g-°C. What is the enthalpy of fusion (Hf) of the sodium acetate? (Show your work.) Where necessary, use q = mHf.
