q1 = heat to raise T from -10 to zero.
q1 = mass ice in grams x specific heat solid ice x 10
q2 = heat to melt ice
q2 = mass ice x heat fusion.
Add q1 + q2 = total q.
"Find the total energy lost by the contents of a Styrofoam picnic cooler when a 3.60 kg block of ice placed inside the cooler completely melts (at 0 Celsius). The ice had an initial temperature of -10.00 Celsius."
I did this question and i got 73080J but I'm not sure if i did it right, can u please tell me the steps!!!
thanks in advance

q1=72360J n q2=21672
q=94032J
is that right DrBob222
q=94032J
is that right DrBob222
No. The 72,360 J is right for the q1 part. I don't know where the 21,573 came from.
For q2 I got 1204.66 (rounded) but now I’m confused a bit
