QUESTION:

Ice at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is placed in a Styrofoam cup containing 361 g of a soft drink at \(23^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The specific heat of the drink is about the same as that of water. Some ice remains after the ice and soft drink reach an equilibrium temperature of \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Determine the mass of ice that has melted. Ignore the heat capacity of the cup. (Hint: It takes 334 J to melt 1g of ice at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).)
