How do I find the heat of fusion of frozen ethanol if I'm given only the mass and the calories absorbed in melting?

As per Q = mL

You have the amount of energy Q, the mass of the substance m. L is the specific latent heat, in this case, of fusion.

So, rearranging for L, we have:

L = \frac{Q}{m}
