Answer:

18,937.8 J

Step-by-step explanation:

A total of 334 J of energy are required to melt 1 g of ice at 0°C, which is called the latent heat of melting. At 0°C, liquid water has 334 J g−1 more energy than ice at the same temperature. This energy is released when the liquid water subsequently freezes, and it is called the latent heat of fusion.
