Calculate the amount of heat required to convert 500 g of ice at -10 °C to water at 0 °C knowing the specific heat of ice is 2100 J/kg·K and the latent heat of fusion is 334000 J/kg.
💡 Hint: Break the problem into heating, melting, and summing the heat.
A 200 g metal block at 100 °C is placed in 300 g of water at 20 °C. Find the final temperature, given c_water = 4186 J/kg·K and c_metal = 380 J/kg·K.
💡 Hint: Think strategically about heat transfer direction.
