To treat a burn on your hand, you decide to place an ice cube on the burned skin. The mass of the ice cube is 10.9 g, and its initial temperature is -12.0 °C. The water resulting from the melted ice reaches the temperature of your skin, 29.6 °C. How much heat is absorbed by the ice cube and resulting water?
2 answers
q = [mass ice x specific heat solid ice x [0-(-12)] + [mass ice x heat fusion] + [mass melted ice x specific heat liquid H2O x (29.6-0)]
