Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amount of heat required to melt 50 grams of 0-degree-Celsius ice is calculated using the formula Q = mL, where m is the mass of the ice and L is the latent heat of fusion for water (approximately 80 calories/gram). Therefore, Q = 50 grams * 80 cal/gram = 4000 calories, which is not listed among the options.
