A Styrofoam coffee cup contains 125 g of hot coffee at 95.0 oC. A 25.0-g ice cube at -20.0 oC is dropped into the hot coffee. After the ice melts and thermal equilibrium is reached, the resulting liquid has a temperature of 65.0 oC. The specific heat capacity of ice is 1.99 J g-1 oC-1 and that of water is 4.184 J g-1 oC-1. The heat capacity of the coffee cup is 15.0 J oC-1. Calculate the molar heat of fusion for water. Assume the coffee is essentially pure water (FW 18.015) and that no heat enters or escapes from the system.

Question

A Styrofoam coffee cup contains 125 g of hot coffee at 95.0 oC. A 25.0-g ice cube at -20.0 oC is dropped into the hot coffee. After the ice melts and thermal equilibrium is reached, the resulting liquid has a temperature of 65.0 oC.

The specific heat capacity of ice is 1.99 J g-1 oC-1 and that of water is 4.184 J g-1 oC-1. The heat capacity of the coffee cup is 15.0 J oC-1.

Calculate the molar heat of fusion for water. Assume the coffee is essentially pure water (FW 18.015) and that no heat enters or escapes from the system.
