Answer:

It would require 28,390 kJ of energy to convert 85 kg of ice to water.

Explanation:

What is Latent heat of fusion?

Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy required to change the phase of a substance from a solid to a liquid at its melting point, without changing its temperature.

In other words, it is the amount of energy required to break the intermolecular bonds between the molecules of a solid substance to transform it into a liquid.

The latent heat of fusion is typically expressed in units of joules per kilogram (J/kg) or calories per gram (cal/g). For example, the latent heat of fusion of water is approximately 334 J/kg or 80 cal/g.

The energy required to convert a substance from one phase to another is given by the formula:

Q = m * L

where Q is the energy required, m is the mass of the substance, and L is the heat of transformation (also known as the specific latent heat) for the substance.

For the conversion of ice to water, we need to consider two phases: solid ice at 0°C and liquid water at 0°C. The heat of transformation for this conversion is known as the specific latent heat of fusion, which is 334 kJ/kg.

Therefore, the amount of energy needed to melt 85 kg of ice into water is:

Q = m * L

Q = 85 kg * 334 kJ/kg

Q = 28,390 kJ
