Answer:
The quantity of heat required to melt all the ice at 0°C is 2.21 * 10⁶ J
Explanation:
Latent heat of fusion is the heat absorbed by a unit mass of a given solid at its melting point that completely converts the solid to a liquid at the same temperature. Its unit is Joules/kg or Joules/g.
1 calorie = 4.184 Joules
Therefore , 80.0 cal/g = 80.0 cal/g * 4.184 J/cal = 334.72 J/g
1 g = 0.001 kg; Heat of fusion in J/kg = 334.72 J/g * 1g /0.001 kg = 3.35 * 10⁵ J/kg
Quantity of heat, Q = mass * latent heat of fusion of ice
quantity of heat required = 6.60 kg * 3.35 * 10⁵ J/kg
Quantity of heat required = 2.21 * 10⁶ J
Therefore, the quantity of heat required to melt all the ice at 0°C is 2.21 * 10⁶ J
