Step 1: Understand what latent heat of fusion means. It is the amount of energy needed to change a substance from solid to liquid without changing its temperature.
Step 2: Know that for ice, this process is melting. When ice melts, it absorbs heat energy.
Step 3: The specific amount of energy that ice needs to melt is measured in joules per gram (J/g).
Step 4: The latent heat of fusion for ice is approximately 334 J/g, meaning it takes 334 joules of energy to melt 1 gram of ice.
