Hi lb_gilbert.

I'm not a chemistry expert, but I did find a similar question with a solution attached:

Two 20.0-g ice cubes at –17.0 °C are placed into 255 g of water at 25.0 °C. Assuming no energy is transferred to or from the surroundings, calculate the final temperature of the water after all the ice melts.

Answer

∆T for ice = (0 - (-17)) = +17 ºC
∆T for the water from the ice = (T - 0) - T ºC
∆T for the initial water only = (T - 25)

Heat quantity Q change for the ice = mol(ice)*cp(ice)*17 + enthalpy of fusion*mol(ice) + mol(ice)*cp(water)*T

Heat quantity Q change for the water = m0l(water)*cp(water)*(T - 25)

molar mass H2O = 18g/mol so 40g ice = 2.22 mol(ice) and 255 g water = 15.3 mol(water)

2.22*37.7*17 + 2.22*6010 + 2.22*75.3*T + 15.3*75.3*(T - 25) = 0

14740 + 167.2*T + 1152*T - 28802 = 0

1389*T = 14062

T = 10.1 ºC

Looking forward to more questions and your response!

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis syndrome are life-threatening reactions that can result in death. Complications include permanent blindness, dry-eye syndrome, lung damage, photophobia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, permanent loss of nail beds, scarring of mucous membranes, arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Many patients' pores scar shut, causing them to retain heat.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

As the western states of America were settled, pioneers often had to drink rancid water from ponds and other sources. This often resulted in chronic diarrhea, causing many cases of dehydration and death that could have been avoided if clean water had been available.
