ANSWER:
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
