A person makes ice tea by adding ice to 1.8 kg of hot tea, initially at 80°C. How many kilograms of ice, initially at 0.00°C, are required to bring the mixture to 10°C? The heat of fusion of ice is 334 kJ/kg, and we can assume that tea has essentially the same thermal properties as water, so its specific heat is 4190 J/(kg K).
You drop an ice cube into an insulated bottle full of water and wait for the ice cube to completely melt. The ice cube initially has a mass of 70.0 g and a temperature of 0°C. The water (before the ice cube is added) has a mass of 880 g and an initial temperature of 20.0°C. What is the final temperature (in °C) of the mixture? (Assume no energy is lost to the walls of the bottle, or to the environment.)
