Heat is added to a 200.-gram sample of h2o(s) to melt the sample at 0°c. then the resulting h2o (image) is heated to a final temperature of 65°c. determine the total amount of heat required to completely melt the sample.

You are given 200 grams of H2O(s) at an initial temperature of 0°C. you are also given the final temperature of water after heating at 65°C. You are required to get the total amount of heat to melt the sample. The specific heat capacity, cp, of water is 4.186 J/g-°C. Let us say that T1 = 0°C and T2 = 65°C. The equation for heat, Q, is  

Q = m(cp)(T2-T1)
Q = 200g(4.186 J/g-°C )(65°C - 0°C)
Q = 54,418J
