How much energy is absorbed when 250.0g ice melts

83.5kJ

Explanation:

To answer to this question, you need the equation:

Q=ice*m

Q

is the amount of heat needed to melt the ice,

L

ice

is the Latent Heat of melting for ice, and

m

is the given mass of ice. Various tables of latent heats give us:

ice=3.34⋅105Jkg

m=250g=0.25kg.

So:

Q = (3.34⋅105Jkg) * (0.25 kg) = 83,500J=83.5kJ
