Answer

$T_f = 5.3^{\circ}C$

Work Step by Step

We can find the heat energy required to melt the ice: $Q = L_F~m$ $Q = (79.5~cal/g)(500~g)$ $Q = 39,750~cal$ Let $T_f$ be the equilibrium temperature. We can find the total heat energy required to melt the ice and raise the temperature: $Q = (39,750~cal)+cmT_f$ $Q = (39,750~cal)+(1.00~cal/g\cdot K)(500~g)T_f$ We can find the total heat energy removed from the tea: $Q = cm\Delta T_f$ $Q = (1.00~cal/g\cdot K)(500~g)(90-T_f)$ We can equate the two expressions for the heat energy to find the equilibrium temperature $T_f$: $(39,750~cal)+(1.00~cal/g\cdot K)(500~g)T_f = (1.00~cal/g\cdot K)(500~g)(90-T_f)$ $(500~cal)~T_f+(500~cal)~T_f = 45,000~cal-39,750~cal$ $(1000~cal)~T_f = 5,250~cal$ $T_f = 5.3^{\circ}C$
