To solve the problem, we need to calculate the specific latent heat of ice using the information provided. Here's a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Mass of ice (m_ice) = 17 g - Mass of water (m_water) = 40 g - Initial temperature of water (T_initial) = 34 °C - Final temperature of water (T_final) = 0 °C (freezing point) - Specific heat capacity of water (c_water) = 4.2 J/g·K ...
