Question
If an iceberg at 0 degrees C has a mass of 200,000,000 kg, how much heat would be required to melt the entire iceberg and raise the melt water to 8.0 degrees C?

q1 = heat to melt the ice berg.
q1 = mass x specific heat x heat fusion.
q2 = meat to raise the temperature to 8C.
q2 = mass water x specific heat water x 8
Total Q = q1 + q2.
q1 = mass x specific heat x heat fusion.
q2 = meat to raise the temperature to 8C.
q2 = mass water x specific heat water x 8
Total Q = q1 + q2.
