Question

The specific latent heat of fusion of ice in SI system is:

Options

• 80 calg⁻¹

• 336 × 10³ Jkg⁻¹

• 2260 × 10³ Jkg⁻¹

• 336 Jkg⁻¹

Answer 1

336 × 10³ Jkg⁻¹

Explanation:

The specific latent heat of fusion of ice is 336000 Jkg⁻¹, which is the same as 336 × 10³ Jkg⁻¹. The value 2260 × 10³ Jkg⁻¹ applies to vaporization, not fusion.
