AZ · Answer

Heat of fusion is the amount of heat that is required to go from a solid to a liquid

AZ · Answer

Do you know any formula that we can use to calculate the heat energy absorbed? @ittskiera

AZ · Answer

Here, I'll give you the formula:

$ \text{q = m} \cdot \Delta \text{H}_\text{f}$

m is our mass
q is our heat energy 
and $\text{H}_\text{f}$ is the heat of fusion

you will notice that the units will cancel out perfectly to give us the heat energy in calories

AZ · Answer

so plug in the heat of fusion that they gave you and the mass that you have also been given and when you multiply those two values, you will get the heat energy
