My last problem for the day thank you!

Explanation / Answer

1)
The heat supplied, Q = m s delta T.
Specific heat in solid phase = Q/(m delta T) = 20000/(0.4*20) = 2500 J/kg.K
2)
Specific heat in liquid phase = Q/(m delta T) = (120000-40000)/(0.4*(40+20)) = 3333.33 J/kg.K
3) Melting and boiling happens at constant temperature.
melting temperature Tmp = -20 deg C
4)
boiling temperature Tbp = 40 deg C
5) Heat of fusion = 20 kJ
6) heat of vaporization = 60 kJ
