Question

A local barista serves coffee at 85°C. You add ice to the coffee to cool it to 55°C. Assume that an ice cube is 24 g and -18.5°C. How many ice cubes would you need to add to your 355 mL cup of coffee to bring it to 55°C? The specific heat of ice is 2.05 J/g°C, the specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g°C, and the specific heat of fusion of water is 334 J/g. Remember that an ice cube will need to be warmed to 0°C, will melt, and then the newly melted water will be warmed to 55°C.
