Answer:
The heat that was used to melt the 15.0 grams of ice at 0°C is 4,950 Joules
Explanation:
The mass of ice in the beaker = 15.0 grams
The initial temperature of the ice = 0°C
The final temperature of the ice = 0°C
The latent heat of fusion of ice = 330 J/g
The heat required to melt a given mass of ice = The mass of the ice to be melted × The latent heat of fusion of ice
Therefore, the heat, Q, required to melt 15.0 g of ice = 15.0 g × 330 J/g = 4,950 J
The heat that was used to melt the 15.0 grams of ice = 4,950 Joules.
