Solution 90P

Here, we are going to calculate the amount of energy in the given units.

Step 1:

Heat of fusion may be defined as the amount of heat required to convert 1 mole of a solid to its liquid state. It is denoted by ΔHf.

Mathematically, it is given by,

                                         ΔHf = q / m, where  ΔHf = heat of fusion

                                                                      q = heat

                                                                       m = mass
