!!best homework help ever!!

uhh ur best options are:

a}google it
b}post same question 2mmorow when there are more tutors on line people who can help with chemistry :)
How much heat did the water lose?
mass water x specific heat water x (Tfinal-Tinitial).
How much heat did the ice gain?
mass ice x heat fusion.
The sum of those should be zero.
just use heat gain by ice =heat lost by water.
