1) A pupil adds 37 g of ice at 0 ºC to 100 g of water at 30 ºC. The final temperature of the water and melted ice is 0 ºC. No heat is lost to, or gained from, the surroundings and the ice completely melted. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.2 J/(g ºC). What is the
specific latent heat of ice?
