Ice at 0 °C is placed in a Styrofoam cup containing 0.62 kg of lemonade at 32 °C. The specific heat capacity of lemonade is virtually the same as that of water; that is, c = 4180 J/(kg C°). After the ice and lemonade reach an equilibrium temperature, some ice still remains. The latent heat of fusion for water is Lf = 3.35 x 105 J/ kg. Assume that the mass of the cup is so small that it absorbs a negligible amount of heat, and ignore any heat lost to the surroundings. Determine the mass of ice that has melted, in grams.
