mass ice x specific heat solid ice x (Tfinal-Tinitial) = heat to move ice from -6 to zero C.
mass ice x heat fusion = heat to melt ice
mass ice x specific heat liquid water x (Tfinal-Tinitial) = heat to move T from zero C to +2 so Tfinal is +2 and Ti is 0.
The sum of each step = 550. Solve for mass ice (remember mass ice is also mass liquid water)
An ice cube at -6 degrees Celsius increases temperature to 2 degrees celsius. If the ice cube absorbs 550 J of heat, what is the mass?
