To calculate the standard enthalpy change for the fusion reaction of 2.5 grams of ice at 0 degrees Celsius, we need to use the formula:H = m  Hfuswhere H is the enthalpy change, m is the mass of the ice, and Hfus is the enthalpy of fusion for water.The enthalpy of fusion for water is 6.01 kJ/mol  the energy required to convert 1 mole of ice to water at 0 degrees Celsius .First, we need to convert the mass of ice  2.5 grams  to moles. The molar mass of water  H2O  is 18.015 g/mol.moles of ice =  2.5 g  /  18.015 g/mol  = 0.1387 molNow, we can calculate the enthalpy change:H =  0.1387 mol    6.01 kJ/mol  = 0.833 kJThe standard enthalpy change for the fusion reaction of 2.5 grams of ice at 0 degrees Celsius is 0.833 kJ.
