Given - Heat of fusion : 6.01 kj/mol
Number of moles of water : 1.27*10⁷ mol of water.
Find - Energy absorbed on melting.
Solution - Energy absorbed can be calculated by the formula : Q = n*∆H. In the formula, q refers to amount of energy absorbed, n refers to number of moles and ∆H stands for molar enthalpy or heat of fusion.
Keeping the values in equation-
Q = 1.27*10⁷*6.01
Q = 7.6*10⁷ kJ.
Hence, the thermal energy absorbed on melting is 7.6*10⁷ kJ.
