Detailed Explanation

The correct answer is C. Approximately 334 Jg

-1

Latent heat is the amount of heat that changes the state of a unit mass of a substance.

The latent heat of melting ice is the amount of heat required to change it from solid to liquid.

Approximately 334 J of energy is needed to melt 1 gram of ice at zero degrees C without changing the temperature.

Thus, the latent heat of melting is 334 J per gram  of ice.
