Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry

The heat of fusion of ice is 80. cal/g. How many calories are required to melt 1.0 mol of ice?

Strategy
We first convert moles of ice to grams of ice using the conversion factor 1 mol of ice = 18 g of ice. We then use the heat of fusion of ice (80. cal/g) to calculate the number of calories required to melt the given quantity of ice.
