Solution Preview

This should be done in 5 steps.

Heat the ice to 0 C by:

q = mc(Tf-Ti)

q1 = 5.0 g(2.05 J/gK)(0-(-10))

q1 = 102.5 J

Melt the ice

q = n(Fusion)

n = m/MM

n = 5 g /18 ...

  • Properties of Temperature, Heat and Their Relationship

    The boiling water will cool down (lose energy as it transfers energy to the ice) and the ice will melt (gain energy as a result of collisions with molecules in the boiling water).

  • Amount of Ice Added to Cool Water

    The liquid water was cooled from 21 degrees to zero degrees, or in other words this bulk of water released energy in the form of heat. This energy was used to first heat the ice to zero degrees and then to melt it.
