specific heat capacity of ice = 2,000 J/kg-°C
latent heat of fusion of water = 334,000 J/kg
specific heat capacity of water = 4,000 J/kg-°C
The 1 kg block of ice melts into water. The amount of heat absorbed by the ice as it melts is 334,000 J.

Question

specific heat capacity of ice = 2,000 J/kg-°C 
     latent heat of fusion of water = 334,000 J/kg 
     specific heat capacity of water = 4,000 J/kg-°C 
The 1 kg block of ice melts into water. The amount of heat absorbed by the ice as it melts is 334,000 J.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The latent heat of fusion of water is the amount of heat required to melt a unit mass of ice. In this case, 1 kg of ice requires 334,000 J of heat to melt into water.

Specific Heat Capacity of Ice = 2,000 J/kg-°C
