(b)
Interpretation:
The heat that could be stored by melting
Concept introduction:
When temperature is changed or the state of matter is changed the energy is either absorbed or released. The energy required to change temperature of matter is known as specific heat of matter. The energy required to change a state of matter is known as heat of fusion or vaporization.
