To find the final temperature after all the ice melts, we need to consider the energy transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the ice warms up from -17.00\u00b0C to 0\u00b0C. Using the molar heat capacity of ice (37.7 J\/mol\u00b7K) and the moles of ice (2.22 mol), the energy required for this is <strong>1.41 kJ<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the ice melts at 0\u00b0C, requiring additional energy. The heat of fusion of ice is <strong>6.008 kJ\/mol<\/strong>, and for 2.22 mol of ice, the energy needed to melt is <strong>13.34 kJ<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The heat needed to warm the ice and melt it must come from the surrounding water, which cools down from 25.00\u00b0C to the final temperature TfT_f. The energy released by cooling the water is calculated using the molar heat capacity of water (75.3 J\/mol\u00b7K). The water cools until it has transferred enough heat to balance the total energy required by the ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By solving the heat balance equation, we find that the final equilibrium temperature is <strong>17.49\u00b0C<\/strong>. This means the ice completely melts, and the entire system reaches thermal equilibrium at this temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since no heat is lost to the surroundings, the principle of conservation of energy holds: the heat gained by ice equals the heat lost by water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This calculation confirms that after the ice melts, the final temperature of the system is <strong>17.49\u00b0C<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Generated Image<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I&#8217;ll generate an image illustrating the process of heat transfer between ice and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an illustration showing the heat transfer process as the ice melts in the water, leading to a final equilibrium temperature of 17.49\u00b0C.
