0.05 kg0.05\,\text{kg} of ice at 0∘C0^{\circ}\text{C} is added to 0.20 kg0.20\,\text{kg} of water at 30∘C30^{\circ}\text{C} contained in a calorimeter of water equivalent 0.015 kg0.015\,\text{kg}. The final equilibrium temperature is 10∘C10^{\circ}\text{C}. Using these observations, determine the latent heat of fusion of ice. (a) 3.61×105 J kg−13.61\times10^{5}\,\text{J kg}^{-1} (b) 3.2×105 J kg−13.2\times10^{5}\,\text{J kg}^{-1} (c) 2.94×105 J kg−12.94\times10^{5}\,\text{J kg}^{-1} (d) 3.40×105 J kg−13.40\times10^{5}\,\text{J kg}^{-1}
