Calculate the heat energy in kJ, required to melt 1.0kg of ice at 0 degrees celcius.

Explanation:

Let us look, for example, at how much energy is needed to melt a kilogram of ice at 0ºC to produce a kilogram of water at 0°C. Using the equation for a change in temperature and the value for water from Table 1, we find that Q = mLf = (1.0 kg)(334 kJ/kg) = 334 kJ is the energy to melt a kilogram of ice.
