Also we assume that all of the ice melts.
q1 = heat needed to raise T of cube at -13.3 to zero C.
q1 = mass ice x specific heat ice x (Tfinal-Tinitial)
q2 = heat needed to melt ice at zero C to liquid water at zero C.
q2 = mass ice x heat fusion.
q3 = heat needed to raise T of melted ice from zero C to 28.4 C.
q3 = mass H2O x specific heat H2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial)
Total q = q1 + q2 + q3
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 18.5 g, and its initial temperature is -13.3 °C. The water resulting from the melted ice reaches the temperature of your skin, 28.4 °C. How much heat is absorbed by the ice cube and resulting water? Assume that all the water remains in your hand
