An 8.5g ice cube is placed into 255g water.
calculate temperature change in water upon the complete melting of the ice. (assume all the energy required to melt the ice comes from the water. )

2834.75 = 255 (4.16) (T)

T = 2.67K

The law of conservation of energy is an important concept for solving this problem. The energy released is enough for the energy absorbed.

Ice undergoes a heat of transformation. This means there is a phase change but not temperature and therefore energy is resolved by (fusion enthalpy) (mass) = 333.5J / g) (8.5g). = 2834.75J.

This is enough for the energy released by water. Energy calculated by (mass) (specific water heat) (temperature change) = (255g) (4.16J / gK) (T)

In physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the amount of energy from a closed system does not change - it will remain the same. That energy cannot be created or destroyed by humans, but it can change from one form of energy to another. For example, chemical energy can be converted into kinetic energy in dynamite explosions.

The most common definition of energy is a work that can be carried out by certain forces (gravity, electromagnetic, etc.).

Energy is a conserved quantity. Because of various forces, such as gravity, electricity, heat and so on, energy has various forms.
