To solve the question regarding the specific latent heat of fusion of water, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Latent Heat of Fusion**: - The latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat required to change a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point without changing its temperature. For water, this process occurs when ice melts into water. 2. **Identifying the Temperature**: ...
