**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Latent Heat of Fusion**: The latent heat of fusion is defined as the amount of energy required to change a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point without changing its temperature. **Hint**: Remember that "latent" refers to energy that is absorbed or released during a phase change without a temperature change. 2. **Specific Case of Ice**: In the case of ice, the latent heat of fusion refers specifically to the energy needed to convert ice (solid) at 0 degrees Celsius into water (liquid) at the same temperature of 0 degrees Celsius. ...
