Ailine Veiga Question: what is the heat of fusion of ice? Hypothesis: To get the heat of fusion of ice we need to determine the Energy it takes to melt the ice and also the mass of the ice and determine the heat of fusion. To determine the mass of the ice melted (m) we start by determine the volume of the water generated when the ice melted. This is the difference between the final volume (v2) and the initial volume (v1). Using the density of water (1.0g/mL)‚ this volume can be converted into mass
