A student put several ice cubes into a container with an opening in the bottom. He allowed them to melt so that the water dripped into a beaker standing on a balance. The student measured the beaker’s starting mass and then the final mass of the beaker plus water after five minutes. The specific latent heat of fusion for water is $334\,\text{J g}^{-1}$. What amount of energy was taken in from the surroundings to melt the ice?
- A$37\,\text{J}$
- B$54\,\text{J}$
- C$37\,000\,\text{J}$
- D$54\,000\,\text{J}$
