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 16.1 g, and its initial temperature is -13.3 °C. The water resulting from the melted ice reaches the temperature of your skin, 31.3 °C. How much heat is absorbed by the ice cube and resulting water? Assume that all the water remains in your hand.
***Question: I'd like to know if the equations for a similar question answered by Dr.bob222 is correct and did he use the correct equations.
Thanx.

I vaguely remember a similar question within the last 2-3 weeks but I remember I had a problem interpreting it because it wasn't clear, as this one is, about the water. I have a suggestion. Instead of trying to remember a problem of several weeks ago why don't we work this one? Do you have an answer. Post your work and we can go through it.
