Four ice cubes at exactly 0 °C with a total mass of 53.5 g are combined with 115 g of water at 75 °C in an insulated container. If no heat is lost to the surroundings, what is the final temperature of the mixture?

Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the heat transfer process: The heat lost by the warm water will be equal to the heat gained by the ice cubes as they melt and warm up to the final temperature.
Calculate the heat required to melt the ice: Use the formula \( q = m \times \Delta H_f \), where \( m \) is the mass of the ice and \( \Delta H_f \) is the heat of fusion for ice (334 J/g).
Calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of the melted ice to the final temperature: Use the formula \( q = m \times c \times \Delta T \), where \( c \) is the specific heat capacity of water (4.18 J/g°C) and \( \Delta T \) is the change in temperature.
Calculate the heat lost by the warm water as it cools to the final temperature: Use the formula \( q = m \times c \times \Delta T \), where \( m \) is the mass of the water, \( c \) is the specific heat capacity of water, and \( \Delta T \) is the change in temperature.
Set the heat gained by the ice equal to the heat lost by the water and solve for the final temperature.
