I need help doing this problem An unknown mass of silver is pulled from a furnace where itstemperature was 900C and placed on a very large block of ice at0.0C. Assuming that all the heat given up by the silver is used tomelt 1.3 kg ice and not all the ice melts, what is the mass of thesilver. (specific heat capacity of silver is 230 J/(kg K).

Explanation / Answer

heat lost by silver = heat gained by ice .    m c T for silver =   mL   for ice .    m * 230 * 900 =   1.3 *333000 .    m =   2.09 kg   is the mass ofsilver
