Answer

$T_f = 2.5^{\circ}C$

Work Step by Step

Let $T_f$ be the equilibrium temperature. We can find the heat energy required to increase the temperature of the ice: $Q = cm\Delta T$ $Q = (0.530~cal/g~K)(50~g)(15~C^{\circ})$ $Q = 397.5~cal$ We can find the heat energy required to melt the ice: $Q = L_F~m$ $Q = (79.5~cal/g)(50~g)$ $Q = 3975~cal$ We can find the total heat energy required to raise the temperature of the ice, melt the ice, and increase the temperature to $T_f$: $Q = cm\Delta T_f$ $Q = (397.5~cal)+(3975~cal)+(1.00~cal/g\cdot K)(50~g)~T_f$ We can find the heat energy removed from the water: $Q = cm\Delta T_f$ $Q = (1.00~cal/g\cdot K)(200~g)(25-T_f)$ $Q = 5,000~cal-(200~cal/K)~T_f$ We can equate the two expressions to find $T_f$: $(397.5~cal)+(3975~cal)+(1.00~cal/g\cdot K)(50~g)~T_f = 5,000~cal-(200~cal/K)~T_f$ $(200~cal/K)~T_f+(50~cal/K)~T_f = 5,000~cal-4372.5~cal$ $(250~cal/K)~T_f = 627.5~cal$ $T_f = \frac{627.5~cal}{250~cal/K}$ $T_f = 2.5^{\circ}C$
