How much heat energy has to be supplied to 2 kg of ice so that it melts at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ? [latent heat of fusion of ice is \(3.35 \times 10^2 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{Kg}^{-1}\)

  1. A \(3.35 \times 10^3 J\)
  2. B \(6.7 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(3.35 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(6.7 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(6.7 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The heat energy \(Q\) required to melt a mass \(m\) of a substance at its melting point is given by the formula \(Q = m \times L\), where \(L\) is the latent heat of fusion. Given: Mass \(m = 2 \text{ kg}\) Latent heat of fusion…
