The heat (Q) required to change a substance from solid to liquid (melting) can be calculated using the formula:

\mathrm{Q=m \cdot \Delta H_f}

Where: Q = Heat (in joules) m = Mass of the substance (in grams)\mathrm{\Delta H_f=\text { Heat of fusion }(120 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g})}

Step 1: Identify the given values: - m (mass) = 50 g - \mathrm{\Delta H_f=\text { Heat of fusion }(120 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g})}

Step 2: Apply the formula to calculate the heat required for melting:

\mathrm{\begin{gathered} Q=50 \mathrm{~g} \cdot 120 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g} \\ Q=6,000 \mathrm{~J} \end{gathered}}

So, the heat required to completely melt 50 grams of this substance from solid to liquid at its melting point is 6, 000 joules.
So, option B is correct
