Solution

Specific latent heat of fusion: It is the amount of heat energy absorbed by a unit mass of substance that converts from solid to liquid without any change in temperature.
Given the specific latent heat of fusion of ice is $336 {Jg}^{- 1}$ .
It means $336 J$ calorie heat energy absorbed when $1 g$ of ice at $0^{\circ} C$ is converted into $1 g$ of water at $0^{\circ} C$ .
