Homework Statement


How much ice was added to a 0.75 kg jug of lemonade at 15 degrees celsius if the final temperature of the jug is 8 degrees celsius? (Assume the lemonade has the specific heat capacity of water.)


Homework Equations


Q = cm∆T


The Attempt at a Solution


Well I think I might have to rearrange Q = cm∆T to solve for mass, so m = Q/c*∆T. But I don't have the heat, and then how would I account for the mass of the jug? Help! :bugeye:

So you're saying I need to use latent heat? If that's the case then I would use Q = cm∆T + mLv, right?

Yes, and that equals the Q = cm∆T lost by the warm lemonade to get to the final temperature.
