Long title, I know! 
The heat of combustion of methane (\text{CH}_4) is 890.4 \ \text{kJ/mol} and the heat of capacity of \text{H}_2\text{O} is 75.2 \ \text{J}/\text{mol}\cdot\text{K} and that the heat capacity of \text{H}_2\text{O} is 37.7 \ \text{J}/\text{mol}\cdot\text{K}, calculate the heat of fusion of water at -10 \ { }^{\circ}\text{C}.
I really don't know. I'm truly confused.
From the given information, I was thinking of finding the mass of methane, but then I would need the density of methane, which was never mentioned in my textbook. So I highly doubt my thoughts are even on the right track.
Any start/hint to a solution would be highly helpful and appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
