How many grams of ICE would it take to drop the temperature of 150-g of WATER from 24.3 to 23.6? (using a polystyrene coffee cup calorimeter at room temperature)

How can I calculate the H-fusion of ICE from the above data?
 
I believe you forgot to include some important information for this question.

About 1 gm. (?)

do they give you the specific heats of ice and water??
 
DQ = m c DT
D= Delta

The specific heat of water is 1 cal / g K by definition. That of ice is .51
Water first
DT= 0.7
c is given
m = 150g
so Q for needed for water is 105

now for the ICE
DT= im guessing its 23.6 since ice is 0 at initial and you want to goto 23.6
c is given
m is what you need
Q =105

so do plug in the info and solve for m
i get 8.72g

did i do it right?

The heat of fusion for water (ice) is 80cal/g.

You can calculate to heat of fusion for water (ice) provided you were given the quantity of ice required to achieve your temperature change. Judging from the way the first part of the question was phrased, it appears the second question you had was interjected as an afterthought since you could not remember the heat of fusion of water. Is this correct? It is unlikely that you were asked to solve a problem with two unknowns.
