Step-by-step explanation

The internal energy is the total amount of kinetic energy and potential energy of all the particles in the system.

Latent heat of fusion of ice is 3.34 × 10^5 J/kg. It means that 3.34 × 10^5 J of heat is required to change 1 kg of ice at 0°C into water at the same temperature. It means that 1 kg of water at 0°C has 3.34 × 105 J more energy than 1 kg of ice at the same temperature.

so, the answer is

No, because At 0°C, liquid water has 334 J g−1 more energy than ice at the same temperature

I hope this helps you
