Liquids can flow because their particles can move over each other. When water is poured into a glass, the particles of water move over each other and into the corners of the glass. The particles keep on moving over each other as the water takes the shape of the glass. Gases can flow because they can move in any direction.

How much ice (in grams) would have to melt to lower the temperature of 354 ml of water from 26 ?c to 6 ?c? (assume the density o

Heat gained in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:<span>

Heat = mC(T2-T1) 

When two objects are in contact, it should be that the heat lost is equal to what is gained by the other. From this, we can calculate things. We do as follows:

<span>Heat gained = Heat lost</span>
mC(T2-T1) = - mC(T2-T1) 

C(liquid water) = 4.18 J/gC
C(ice) = 2.11 J/gC

</span><span>(354 mL)(1.0 g/mL)(4.18 J/gC)(26 C - 6 C) = m(2.11 J/gC)(6 - 0C) </span><span>
m = 2337.63 g of ice
