Question
**Problem Statement:**

Calculate the amount of heat needed to melt 169 g of solid acetic acid \((\text{HCH}_3\text{CO}_2)\) and bring it to a temperature of 81.2°C. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits.

**Answer Field Description:**

- The answer input field is a rectangular box, where you can input your calculated value.
- Beside the input box, there is a panel with the following features:
  - An icon to indicate scientific notation marked as \(x10\).
  - A checkmark (✓) to submit the answer.
  - An arrow (⟲) to reset the input field.

**Instructions for Calculation:**

1. Determine the latent heat of fusion for acetic acid and its specific heat capacity.
2. Use the formula \( q = m \cdot \Delta H_f + m \cdot c \cdot \Delta T \) to calculate the total heat required, where:
   - \( q \) is the total heat energy.
   - \( m \) is the mass of the substance.
   - \( \Delta H_f \) is the heat of fusion.
   - \( c \) is the specific heat capacity.
   - \( \Delta T \) is the change in temperature.
3. Ensure the final answer is expressed with the correct unit and significant digits.
