Answer:
34000 J or 34 kJ
Explanation:
From the question, The energy needed to just melt the ice cube does not requires any external temperature or change in temperature, Hence it is called latent heat
By Applying,
Q' = C'm........................ Equation 1
Where Q' = Latent heat, C' = Specific latent heat of fusion of water, m = mass of ice.
Given: C' = 340000 J/kg, m = 100 g = 0.1 kg
Substitute into equation 1
Q' = 0.1(340000)
Q' = 34000 J
Q' = 34 kJ
