The specific heat capacity of ice is Cs,ice = 2.09 J/g⋅∘C and the heat of fusion of ice is 6.02 kJ/mol. When a small ice cube at −10 ∘C is put into a cup of water at room temperature, which plays a larger role in cooling the liquid water: the warming of the ice from −10 ∘C to 0 ∘C, or the melting of the ice?
