Question 2
A 40.0-g block of ice at -15.0C is dropped into a calorimeter (of negligible heat capacity) containing water at 15.0C. When equilibrium is reached, the final temperature is 8.0C.
How much water did the calorimeter contain initially? The specific heat of ice is 2090 J/(kg K) and the latent heat of fusion of water is 33.5 104 J/kg. A) 302 g
B) 345 g
C) 405 g
D) 546 g
E) 634 g
