A g ice cube at -15.0oC is placed in g of water at 48.0oC. Find the final temperature of the system when equilibrium is reached. Ignore the heat capacity of the container and assume this is in a calorimeter, i.e. the system is thermally insulated from the surroundings. Give your answer in oC with 3 significant figures.

Question

A <10.0+A> g ice cube at -15.0oC is placed in <125+B> g of water at 48.0oC. Find the final temperature of the system when equilibrium is reached. Ignore the heat capacity of the container and assume this is in a calorimeter, i.e. the system is thermally insulated from the surroundings. Give your answer in oC with 3 significant figures.

Specific heat of ice: 2.090 J/g K

Specific heat of water: 4.186 J/g K

Latent heat of fusion for water: 333 J/g
