Use the equations:
Q = mc\theta
and
Q = mL
Using Q = mc\theta will give you the energy required for the ice to heat up to 0 C.
Then, you use Q = mL to find the energy required to melt the ice to water at 0 C.
You should be provided with c, the specific heat capacity of ice and L the specific latent heat of fusion of ice.
Then, Q is the amount of heat,
m is the mass of the ice
theta is the change in temperature.
Post what you get! :)
