Answer:

The final temperature of the water is 6.53 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of ice cubes = 2*20.0 grams = 40.0 grams

Temperature of the ice = -17.0 °C

Mass of water = 205.0 grams

Temperature of water = 25.0 °C

Heat Capacity of H2O(s) = 37.7 J/(mol.K)

Heat Capacity of H2O(l) = 75.3 J/(mol.K)

Enthalpy of fusion of H2O 6.01 kJ/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of H2O

Moles H2O = mass H2O / molar mass

40.0 g H2O(s) / 18.02 g/mol = 2.22 mol H2O

Step 3: Calculate energy needed to warm the ice to melting temperature

(37.7 J/(mol*K)) * (2.22 mol) * (0 - (-17.0))K = 1422.8 J

Step 4: Calculate energy needed to melt the ice

(6.01 KJ/mol) * (2.22 mol) = 13.34 kJ = 13340 J to melt the ice

Step 5: Calculate total energy to warm and melt all the ice

1422.8 + 13340 J = 14762.8 Joule

Step 6: Calculate moles of water

Moles H2O = 205 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 11.38 mol

Step 7: Calculate the change in temperature

ΔT = (14762.8 J / 75.3 J/mol*k) /11.38 mol

(15101.8 J) / (75.3 J/(mol*K) / (205 g / (18.01532 g H2O/mol)) = 17.2

Step 8: Calculate new temperature of water

25.0 - 17.2 = 7.8 °C

We have 2 bodies of water: 40 g at 0°C and 205 g at 7.8°C

⇒ ((40 g * 0°C) + (205 g * 7.8°C)) / (40 g + 205 g) = 6.53 °C

The final temperature of the water is 6.53 °C
