Answer:
The heat energy required, Q = 6193.8 J
Explanation:
Given,
The mass of ice cube, m = 18.6 g
The heat of fusion of ice, ΔHₓ = 333 J/g
The heat energy of a substance is equal to the product of the mass and heat of fusion of that substance. It is given by the equation,
<em> Q = m · ΔHₓ joules</em>
Substituting the given values in the above equation
Q = 18.6 g x 333 J/g
= 6193.8 J
Hence, the heat required to melt the ice cube is, Q = 6193.8 J
