Answer: 24 kcal
Explanation:
Given
Mass of water [tex]m=0.3\ kg[/tex]
Temperature of water [tex]T_1=0^{\circ}[/tex]
Heat of fusion [tex]L_f=80\ cal/g[/tex]
Heat of vaporization [tex]L_v=540\ cal/g[/tex]
Specific heat of water [tex]c=1\ cal/g.^{\circ}C[/tex]
Heat require to melt the ice is
[tex]\Rightarrow Q=mL_f\\\Rightarrow Q=0.3\times 1000\times 80\\\Rightarrow Q=24000\ cal\ or\ 24\ kcal[/tex]
Thus, 24 kcal of heat is required to melt 0.3 kg of ice.
