A block of ice of temperature 0°C and mass 20 g was place in a baker and weighed. The total mass was 55g. Steam at 110°C was dutched in to the ice completely melted. Assume no loss of heat to the surrounding. Find the mass of the beaker and its contents!​

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.
