A (18) g ice cube at –15.0°C is placed in (126) g of water at 48.0 degreesC. Find the final temperature of the system when equilibrium is reached. Ignore the heat capacity of the container and assume this is in a calorimeter, i.e. the system is thermally insulated from the surroundings. Give your answer in degreesC with 3 significant figures.
Specific heat of ice: 2.090 J/(g∙ oC)
Specific heat of water: 4.186 J/(g∙ oC)
Latent heat of fusion for water: 333 J/g
