The energy required to convert 85 kg of ice to water is 2.856 MJ.
The increment in temperature adds up the thermal energy into the object. This energy is Heat energy.
Given is the mass of ice = 85 kg
For a phase change, latent heat of fusion, L = 33600 J/K is required to convert ice into water.
Q =mL
Q = 85 x 33600 J/K
Q = 2856000 Joules.
Q = 2.856 MJ
Thus, the energy required to convert 85 kg of ice to water is 2.856 MJ.
