To heat 1 pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit, you need 1 British Thermal Unit (BTU). This is based on the definition of a BTU, which is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at a constant pressure.

212 - 80 = 132 degrees temperature increase x 1 pound water = 132 BTU
You would need to remove approximately 1200 BTUs of heat to convert a gallon of water to ice. There are 8.34 lb in a gallon of water, which converting to lb-moles is 0.463. The latent heat of crystallization for water is -2583.4 BTU/lb-mole. Multiplying the two together and you get -1197 BTUs, which means you need to remove that amount of heat to convert the gallon of water to ice.
one BTU is approximately the amount of energy needed to heat 1 pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit. Here is a start ; now find out how much a pound of water weighs then work through it.
1 BTU (british thermal unit) of heat energy will change the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. If you are talking about 1 pound of water, since this is a change of 100 deg f, it would require 100 BTU. 2 pounds require 200 BTU. 3 pounds require 300 BTU. etc.
Heat required for this transition is given as the the sum of three heatsheat required for heating the ice from -5 degree Celsius +latent heat(conversion of ice at zero degree to water at zero degrees)+heat required to heat the water from 0 to 5 degree CelsiusHeating of ice=m x s x delta T,where m is the mass ,s is the specific heat of ice=200x0.5x5=500calmelting of ice=mxlatent heat=200x80=16,000calHeating of water=m x s x delta T,where m is the mass ,s is the specific heat of water =200x1x5=1000calTotal heat required=500+16,000+1000=17,500 cal
