What about this: How many Cals are required to heat a 28.4 g ice cube from -23.0 °C to -1.0 °C.

q = mCdeltaT Look up the specific heat for ice (H2O solid) and plug it in. q = 28.4 g x Cice x 22 deg Easiest if you use Cice in cal. If you use joules, convert the answer as done in the original question, i.e 1 cal = 4.184 J
