Water's heat of fusion is 80. cal/g , and its specific heat is 1.0calg⋅∘C .
Some velomobile seats have been designed to hold ice packs inside their cushions. If you started a ride with ice packs that held 1100 g of frozen water at 0 ∘C , and the temperature of the water at the end of the ride was 32 ∘C , how many calories of heat energy were absorbed?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
