How much heat is required to melt 95.5 of ice at its melting point?

Question

How much heat is required to melt 95.5 of ice at its melting point? it a chemistry problem and i am really stuck 

Answer 1

You need to know the heat of fusion for ice (solid H2O).  It is 334 J/g.  This means it takes 334 joules of energy for each gram of ice, to change the phase to liquid.

Thus heat = q = mass x ∆H_f

q = 95.5 g x 334 J/g = 31,897 Joules needed (or 31.9 kJoules)
