Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

We know that $H=\frac{\Delta }{R}$ We also know that $Q=Ht$ and $Q=mL_f$ $\implies Ht=mL_f$ This can be rearranged as: $m=\frac{\Delta Tt}{RL_f}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $m=\frac{(20)(15\times 60\times 60)}{(0.12)(334000)}$ $m=27Kg$
