A 337 gram cup of hot tea at 33.4°C is cooled to 27.5°C after the addition of ice cubes at -14.2°C. Assuming none of the ice cubes actually melted, how many grams of ice cubes were added? Hint: Ice cubes melt at 0°C so assume that the final temperature of the ice cubes is 0°C and that no heat is lost in the transfer between ice cubes and tea. The specific heat of the tea is 4.18 J/gK and the ice is 2.11 J/gK. Enter your answer to the nearest whole gram.
