Homework Statement
A glass containing water is initially of temperature 20oC. The mass of the glass is 100 g and of specific heat 0.16 cal/g-co and water is of mass 200g. If 5 cubes of ice each of mass 15g will be added to the glass of water, solve for
(a) The temperature of the mixture.
(b) The mass of ice remaining if any.
Homework Equations
Qloss+Qgained=0
Q=mCΔt
The Attempt at a Solution
Ok so used the equation for heat exchange and I arrived at the equation,
mCΔt of water + mCΔt of glass + mCΔt of ice = 0
My concern is the Specific heat that I will use for C of ice, because my teacher said to only use 0.5 when below 0 degrees but it doesn't really say its temperature in the problem. Will I use 1 or 0.5?
And for part b, I need some tips on how to start solving for the possible remaining ice
