A calorimeter contains 95 g of water at 25.0°C. A 5.0-g sample of ice (at -5.0°C) is added to the water in the calorimeter, and eventually all of the ice melts. Calculate the final temperature of the water. Assume no heat is lost to the calorimeter or the surroundings.

Question

The heat gained by the ice to warm to 0°C and then melt is equal to the heat lost by the water. Calculating these and setting them equal gives a final temperature of approximately 19.6°C.
