Answer

$2.2137Kg$

Work Step by Step

We can find the mass of the block of the ice as follows: $Q_1=mc_{ice}\Delta T$ $\implies Q_1=m(2090J/KgC^{\circ})(15C^{\circ})$ $Q_2=mL_f$ $Q_2=m(33.5\times 10^4J/Kg)$ and $Q_3=mc_{water}\Delta T$ $Q_3=m(4186J/KgC^{\circ})(15C^{\circ})$ Now $Q=Q_1+Q_2+Q_3$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $9.5\times 10^5J=m(2090J/KgC^{\circ})(15C^{\circ})+m(33.5\times 10^4J/Kg)+m(4186J/KgC^{\circ})(15C^{\circ})$ This simplifies to: $m=2.2137Kg$
