II. The latent heat of fusion for water

III. The density of water

If you're only melting ice ... turning solid ice at 0°C into liquid water at 0°C ...
then you only need to know the latent heat of fusion for water. 

That's exactly what it means ... the amount of energy involved when a gram
of H₂O changes in either direction between liquid and solid, with no change
in temperature.
