Answer #1
it is right, but why not work it in cal from the start. The heat of fusion for ice is 80kcal/kg ?

q=mLf=1kg*80kcal/kg

Answer #2
Q = mHf

where Q is the transfer of thermal energy, m is the mass of the ice, and Hf is the specific heat of fusion for melting/freezing.

Hf = 333kJ/kg
m = 1kg

Q = mHf
Q = 1kg*333kJ/kg
Q = 333kJ

1 Joule = 0.239cal

Therefore, multiply 333kJ *0.239kcal/kJ = 79.5kcal. Significant digits forces it to 80kcal.
