Calculate the heat energy required to convert 100 g of ice at 0 °C completely into water at 0 °C. (Specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336 J g−1)
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
33 600 J
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
Heat required = mass × specific latent heat = 100 × 336 = 33 600 J. The temperature does not change during melting.
