In kJ.
668kJ

At a glance:Q = m·L (no temperature change). Complements specific-heat and heat-of-vaporization.

Formula

Q = m·L.

$$Q = m L$$
$$L_{\text{fusion}}^{\text{ice}} \approx 3.34\times10^5\,\text{J/kg}$$

How to Use

  1. Enter mass and latent heat.
  2. The tool returns the heat.

Case Studies

m=0.5, L=334e3

Q = 167 kJ.
