Answer

$T_f = 0^{\circ}C$

Work Step by Step

We can find the heat energy required to melt the ice: $Q = L_F~m$ $Q = (79.5~cal/g)(500~g)$ $Q = 39,750~cal$ We can find the total heat energy removed from the tea: $Q = cm\Delta T_f$ $Q = (1.00~cal/g\cdot K)(500~g)(70-T_f)$ $Q = 35,000~cal-(500~cal)~T_f$ Since the heat energy required to melt the ice is greater than the heat energy lost from the tea, the equilibrium temperature is $0^{\circ}C$ and some of the ice remains. $T_f = 0^{\circ}C$
