Answer

$m_{ice}=0.261\ lbm$

Work Step by Step

Energy balance for the can: $Q=\Delta U=mc\Delta T$ Properties of water at an average temperature: $\rho=62.3\ lbm/ft³,\ c_p=1.00\ Btu/lbm.°R$ Since $V_{can}=12\ oz=0.0125\ ft³$ Therefore $m_{can}=0.781\ lbm$ Hence $Q_{can}=-37.5\ Btu$ With $\Delta h_{fusion}=143.5\ Btu/lbm$: $Q_{ice}=-Q_{can}=m_{ice}\Delta h_{fusion}$ Solving for the mass: $m_{ice}=0.261\ lbm$
