Answer:

7.55 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Heat of fusion = 333kj/kg

Heat capacity, c = 4190 j/kg /k

The Number of grams of ice that will melt can be represented as y:

Number of grams of ice that will melt * heat of fusion = specific heat capacity * temperature change

y * 333 * 10^3 J = (4190) * (6 - 0)

333000y = 25140

y = 25140 / 333000

y = 0.0754954 kg

y = 0.0754954 * 100

y = 7.549 g

Hence, Number of grams of ice that will melt = 7.55 g
