1kg of copper is transferred quickly from boiling water to a block of ice. Calculate the mass of ice melted, neglecting heat loss. [specific heat capacity of copper 400Jkg^-1K^-1 and latent heat of fusion of ice 333 x 10³Jkg^-1]

60g

67g

120g

133g

Correct answer is C

Heat lost = heat gained

1 x 400 x (100 - 0) = m x 333000

m = 0.12kg

converting to grams; 0.12 x 1000

= 120g
