Answer:

400cal

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ice melted at 0 Celesius then the heat gained by ice (latent heat) will melt it so you should substitute in that law

Q=mlf ..where Q is the heat required to convert ice to water , m is the mass of ice and lf is the latent heat of fusion

Q=5∗80=400cal
