Okay, I've been trying to figure out this question for almost a week now.

A constant temperature bath containing 5.00 L of water at 70.0 C was cooled by adding 0.500 kg of ice. Find the final temperature.

My confusion stems from the fact that there is no initial temperature for the ice. Do I assume that the ice is at 0 C and goes through a phase change? Do I use Q₁ + Q₂ = 0? HELP PLEASE.

Yes I think you have to assume that. And your equation is right too.

I figured it out today. You assume that the ice is at 0 C and goes through a phase change, then you use the equation:

 :delta: H + Q_ice = Q_water

Thank you
