Answer

The coffee has cooled $13.5~C^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

We can find the heat energy required to melt the ice: $Q = L_F~m$ $Q = (333~kJ/kg)(0.0120~kg)$ $Q = 4000~J$ Let $T$ be the equilibrium temperature. We can find the total heat energy required to melt the ice and raise the temperature: $Q = (4000~J)+cmT$ $Q = (4000~J)+(4187~J/kg\cdot K)(0.0120~kg)T$ We can find the total heat energy removed from the coffee: $Q = cm\Delta T$ $Q = (4187~J/kg\cdot K)(0.130~kg)(80.0-T)$ We can equate the two expression for the heat energy to find the equilibrium temperature $T$: $(4000~J)+(4187~J/kg\cdot K)(0.0120~kg)T = (4187~J/kg\cdot K)(0.130~kg)(80.0-T)$ $(544.31~J/C^{\circ})~T+(50.244~J/C^{\circ})~T = 43,544.8~J-4000~J$ $(594.554~J/C^{\circ})~T = 39,544.8~J$ $T = \frac{39,544.8~J}{594.554~J/C^{\circ}}$ $T = 66.5^{\circ}C$ We can find the amount the coffee has cooled: $\Delta T = 80.0^{\circ}C-66.5^{\circ}C = 13.5~C^{\circ}$ The coffee has cooled $13.5~C^{\circ}$
