Answer:
66800 J
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass (m) = 200 g
Heat (Q) required =?
The heat required to melt the 200 g sample of water can be obtained as:
Mass (m) = 200 g
Latent heat of water (L) = 334 J/g
Heat (Q) required =?
Q = mL
Q = 200 × 334
Q = 66800 J
Thus, 66800 J of heat energy is required to melt the sample of water.
