Concept Introduction:
The heat of fusion is the amount of heat required to melt 1 mole of solid.
It is denoted by
For
The heat required for melting of ice is taken from the water and it equals to heat energy released by water and thus, its temperature changes.
Heat released by water is calculated by,
Here, m is the mass of water, C is the heat capacity of water and
The heat capacity of water is
The density of water is assumed to be
