Hi, if someone could help me set this up with an equation I would be delighted. I have tried to use q=mc/delta T, and I don't know if this is correct, because I am getting the wrong answer. I'm not asking for the answers so much as I'd like to know how to set it up. Thank you for you time.

The correct equation is Q=mCDeltaT
Calculate the heat required to melt the ice to water at 0 Deg C = 85 gm x 80 cal/gm = 6800 cal
The heat gained by the ice = heat lost by 785 g of water
6800cal + 85 (10)* (t2 - 0) = 785g (1)(T1water-T2) where the final temperature of the ice is equal to the final temperature of the cooled water. T1=28, Cwater=1 and t2= the final temperature.
Solve for t2 = 17.45 deg C
