20. Heat and Temperature / Calorimetry with Temperature and Phase Changes / Problem 1

A slaughterhouse preserves meat for a few weeks by keeping it at low temperatures below 5°C. Suppose meat (at 37°C) is cooled until its internal temperature is 2.0°C using an ice-water mixture. Determine the least amount of ice at 0°C required to cool 65.0 kg of meat so that the temperature of the bath is maintained at 0°C. Meat has a specific heat of 3480 J/kg°C.
