A rod, with sides insulated to prevent heat loss, has one end immersed in boiling water 100°C and the other end in a water-ice mixture at 0.00°C. The rod has uniform cross-sectional area of 4.04 cm² and length of 91 cm. Under steady state conditions, the heat conducted by the rod melts the ice at a rate of 1.0 g every 34 seconds. What is the thermal conductivity of the rod? (The heat of fusion of water is 3.34 × 10⁵ J/kg.)
