Answer #1

Heat of fusion of ice = 334 J/g
Specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g*˚C

heat energy is required to melt all the ice.
The water’s temperature will decrease as the ice melts.
Energy absorbed by ice to melt = mass * Heat of fusion = 80 * 334 = 26,720 J

2nd determine the temperature of the water, after releasing the heat energy.

Energy released by water = Mass * Specific heat * ∆T
Energy released by water = 750 * 4.18 * ∆T

750 * 4.186 * ∆T = 80 * 334
∆T = 3.19˚
The water’s temperature decreased 3.19˚ as all the ice melted. Final temperature of water = 22 - 3.19 = 18.81
Now you have 750 grams of water at 18.81˚C and 80 grams of water at 0˚

3rd determine the final temperature of the water.
80 * 4.186 * (Tf – 0) = 750 * 4.186 * (18.81– Tf)
Divide both sides by 4.186
80 * Tf = 750 * (18.81 – Tf)
830 * Tf = 14107.5
Tf = 16.99˚

final temp is 16.99
