Calculation of Heat Absorbed During Melting of Ice

Medium General Chemistry Thermodynamics And Thermochemistry

An endothermic reaction is defined as a process that absorbs heat from its surroundings, resulting in a decrease in the temperature of the surrounding environment. When 200 grams of ice at 0°C is added to a styrofoam container, the heat absorbed will melt the ice, transforming it into water at 0°C. The enthalpy of fusion for ice is approximately 334 J/g.

Considering the mentioned information about the enthalpy of fusion and the mass of ice, what can we determine about the total amount of heat absorbed during this phase change?
