Answer:

The final temperature of the ice is
-40^(\circ)\ C.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Energy, Q = 10 cal

Mass of ice, m = 2 g

Initial temperature,
T_1=-30^(\circ)\ C

We need to find the final temperature of the ice. We know that the specific heat of ice is
0.5\ cal\ g^(-1) ^(\circ) C^(-1)

The heat added in terms of specific heat is given by :


Q=mc(T_1-T_2)


T_2 final temperature of the ice

c is specific heat of ice


T_2=T_1-(Q)/(mc)\\\\T_2=(-30)-(10)/(2* 0.5)\\\\T_2=-40^(\circ)

So, the final temperature of the ice is
-40^(\circ)\ C.
