Heat loss of water: The surface area effects the the rate of heat loss because the rate of heat loss increases if the surface are is higher. How: The water is spread out into a bigger space meaning the
1C in 1.8 times as large a change.
1 degree C is a bigger change. It's 1.8 times the size of a change of 1 degree F. (Technically, these are changes in temperature, not heat. There's a difference.)
Water have a very high heat capacity and that mean water can contain a lot of heat which resulted in the cooling effect. Remember ice is water in solid form.
Heat required for this transition is given as the the sum of three heatsheat required for heating the ice from -5 degree Celsius +latent heat(conversion of ice at zero degree to water at zero degrees)+heat required to heat the water from 0 to 5 degree CelsiusHeating of ice=m x s x delta T,where m is the mass ,s is the specific heat of ice=200x0.5x5=500calmelting of ice=mxlatent heat=200x80=16,000calHeating of water=m x s x delta T,where m is the mass ,s is the specific heat of water =200x1x5=1000calTotal heat required=500+16,000+1000=17,500 cal
