What quantity of heat is required to convert 20 g of ice at 0 ºC to water at the same temperature? (Specific latent heat of ice = 336 Jg\(^{-1}\))

A.

7.06 x 10\(^{3}\)J

B.

5.38 x 10\(^{3}\)J

C.

6.72 x 10\(^{3}\)J

D.

1.35 x 10\(^{3}\)J

Correct answer is C

quantity of heat = mass * Specific latent heat → 20 * 336 

quantity of heat = 6720j or  6.72 x 10\(^{3}\)J
