Answer is: 12.642 kJ of heat is released.

m (H₂O) = 37.8 g; mass of water.

M (H₂O) = 2 · 1 g/mol + 16 g/mo = 18 g/mol.

n (H₂O) = m (H₂O) : M (H₂O).

n (H₂O) = 37.8 g : 18 g/mol.

n (H₂O) = 2,1 mol; amount of substance.

ΔHfus = 6.02 kJ/mol; the heat of fusion.

Q = n (H₂O) · ΔHfus.

Q = 2.1 mol · 6.02 kJ/mol.

Q = 12.642 kJ.
