I posted the temp I think it might be on my previous post, but I have no way of knowing whether it's accurate, or whether the equation is remotely correct. Furthermore, it seems that every time I try to calculate a temp using latent heat on either (or both) sides of the equation, the change in...

Ok, so I tried again, this time omitting the heat of fusion terms, and the answer seems reasonable. Still not sure if it's correct, and more importantly, why heat of fusion terms aren't necessary. (0.2kg)(2090J/kg)(T-(-5))=(0.02kg)(4190J/kg*K)(15-T) T= -0.401 degree Cand going back further...

Thanks for the prompt reply. I elaborated further on the work I've done- I think it tells me that there isn't nearly enough heat going into the ice to melt all of it. However, I'm not sure where to go from here.

Homework Statement If you mixed 0.2kg of ice that is at -5 degrees C with 0.02kg of water that is at 15 degrees C, what will be the temperature and condition of the final state once equilibrium is achieved? Homework Equations Q=mL Q=mc(delta T)The Attempt at a Solution After setting up a heat...
