Question
In a container of negligible mass, 020 kg of ice at an initial temperature of – 40.0 oC is mixed with a mass m of water that has an initial temperature of 80.0 oC. No heat is lost to the surroundings. If the final temperature of the system is 20.0 oC, what is the mass m of the water that was initially at 80.0 oC

Answer:
The mass is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of ice is
The initial temperature of the ice is
The initial temperature of the water is
The final temperature of the system is
Generally according to the law of energy conservation,
The total heat loss is = total heat gained
Now the total heat gain is mathematically represented as
Here
is the energy required to move the ice from 
And it mathematically evaluated as
Here the specific heat of ice is
So
And it mathematically evaluated as
The latent heat of fusion of ice is
So
And it mathematically evaluated as
Here the specific heat of water is
So
The heat loss is mathematically evaluated as
So
=>
