For A 53 g ice cube at −30◦C is dropped into a container of water at 0◦C, the amount of water that freezes onto the ice? is mathematically given as

x = 9.93 g

<h3>What is the amount of water that freezes onto the ice?</h3>

Where

Energy received = energy given out

Generally, the amount of water is mathematically given as

(53)(0.5)(30) = (80)(x)

Therefore

x = (49)(0.5)(16)/(80)

x = 9.93 g

In conclusion, the mass of water

x = 9.93 g
