The heat exchanged by the system is simply the heat lost by the water in going from 61.2º to 31.6º.
I don't get -37º for the initial temperature of the ice. I get -4.9ºC. Here is how I arrive at that value. Please check my math, however.
heat lost by water = heat gained by ice
heat lost by water = mass x C x ∆T = (99.24 g)(4.184 J/gº)(29.6º) = 12,291 J
This is also the heat gained by the ice.
heat gained by ice = mass x ∆Hfusion + mass x CH2O x Tf - Ti
12,291 J = (25.26 g)(334 J/g) + (25.26 g)(4.184 J/gº)(31.6º - Ti)
12,291 = 8437 + 3340 - 105.7 Ti
514 = -105.7 Ti
Ti = - 4.9ºC

Thank you, where should I add that to the equation?04/28/21

Although, we were instructed to not assume 0 as the temperature for ice so I thought we were to use 31.6 for that. Also wouldn't the heat lost be negative like -12,291? Thank you.04/28/21

Why would you make all T values positive when its Tf-Ti?04/28/21

Thank you so much! I was wondering if in the heat gained by ice equation wherein ...+ mass x CH2O x Tf - Ti, shouldn't be the specific heat (C) of ice be 2.03? also won't be the heat exchanged by the system affected by the phase change04/28/21
