finding final temperature in thermochem question.
« on: October 18, 2008, 08:19:03 PM »
I really need help on this question. I can't just do the M1C1DT = M2C2DT equation, because I don't know how the enthalpy of fusion fits in. The answer in the back of the book is 10.4 degrees celsius but I don't know how to get there. Thanks in advance. 

Suppose an ice cube weighing 36.0g at a temperature of -10.0 degrees celsius is placed in 360 g of water at a temperature of 20 degrees celsius. Calculate the temperature after thermal equilibrium is reached, assuming no heat loss to the surroundings. The enthalpy of fusion of ice is (DHfus) 6.007 kJ/mol. The molar heat capacity (cp) of ice is 38 J K- mol- and cp of water is 75 J K- mol-.

Q1+Q2+Q3...Qn=0
That is what leads to:
Q1=-Q2
When it is simple and you only have a system of two.
