Heat and Mass: Raising Ice and Water Temperatures

[test2morrow]

Homework Statement

Given that ice has a specific heat that is half of that of water, does it take more thermal energy to raise the temperature of 5 grams of water or 5 grams of ice by 6 degrees Celsius?

Homework Equations

Q=mc delta t

The Attempt at a Solution

So I think it takes more energy to raise the temperature of water. Am I right? The answer given is ice, could that just be a mistake?

If you assume the temperature of the ice is zero degree, the ice takes more energy to melt and then rise the temperature. Where as the water directly rises the temperature.
