Carlos takes a 16 kg bag of ice at -5 ∘C from a freezer and puts it in the back of his truck. Unfortunately, he forgets about it and the ice melts.
How much heat energy did it take to melt the ice completely? The specific heat of ice is 2090 J/(kg⋅K) and its heat of transformation from solid to liquid is 3.33×1053.33×105 J/kg
