Question

It’s time to perform the experiment! Be sure to measure out a set mass of water, say 50g, put it into a freezer bag, or plastic dish, let it freeze solid, and then place that resulting piece of ice into the 100g of room temperature water, inside your calorimeter. Seal that top with some piece of wood, cardboard, or plastic container top, but leave a spot for your thermometer to poke out! initial temperature of water is 20C after is has melted 5C. solve for the initial temperature of the ice cube.  That so happens to be the temperature of your freezer!  After your derivation, be sure to include a note on how accurate you believe your answer to be, and where any source of errors may have come from.
