With these problems, I start from the initial state and work toward the final state. We basically calculate the amount of heat required for each step.
1. Calculate the amount of heat required to increase the temperature from -10oC to 0oC (melting point of ice)
Q = mCdeltaT
Q = 52.0 g x 2.09 J/g/oC x ...
