Problem

At 1 atm, water’s molar enthalpy of fusion is 6.0 kJ mol−16.0\,\text{kJ}\,\text{mol}^{-1} and its molar enthalpy of vaporization is 40.7 kJ mol−140.7\,\text{kJ}\,\text{mol}^{-1}. Calculate the ratio of the energy required to vaporize one mole of water to the energy required to melt one mole of ice at this pressure, reporting your answer to two significant figures.
