You need two equations.
1. Within a phase
q = mass x specific heat x (Tfinal-Tinitial). For example, for warming from zero C to 28 C you will have
q = mass x specific heat x (28-0) = ?
2. At the phase change. For example, at the melting point you have
q = mass x heat fusion
So you will have q from -24 to zero, at zero, and from zero to 28. Then add each for the total.
