The problem asks for the standard enthalpy change for the fusion of 1 mole of solid water  ice  at 0C to liquid water at 0C. We are given the enthalpy of fusion of solid water as 6.01 kJ/mol and the specific heat capacity of water as 4.18 J/gC.Since the temperature remains constant at 0C during the fusion process, we do not need to consider the specific heat capacity of water in this calculation. The enthalpy change for the fusion of 1 mole of ice to liquid water at 0C is simply equal to the enthalpy of fusion of solid water.Therefore, the standard enthalpy change for the fusion of 1 mole of solid water  ice  at 0C to liquid water at 0C is 6.01 kJ/mol.
