The heat required to melt one mole of a substance is known as its molar enthalpy of fusion, denoted as ΔHfus . For sodium chloride, is 30.4 kJ/mol

The entropy change at the melting point is given by ΔS=ΔHfusTm, where Tm is the melting point in Kelvin. Substituting the given values, we get: 

28.4J/K/mol=30.4kJ/molTm Solving for Tm, we get: Tm=30.4kJ/mol28.4J/K/mol=1070.4K

Rounding off to the nearest integer, the melting point of sodium chloride is 1070 K.
