The specific heat of fusion is the value that shows how much energy it takes to convert a substance from a solid to a liquid at its fusion temperature. All that remains is to multiply by the mass of the substance, and that's it. So, multiply 330 kJ/kg by 5 kg and you'll be happy. Or 340. Check your charts.
