A patient of mass X kilograms is spiking a fever of 105 degrees F. It is imperative to reduce the fever immediately back down to 98.6 degrees F, so the patient is immersed in an ice bath. How much ice must melt for this temperature reduction to be achieved? Use reasonable estimates of the patient's heat capacity, and the value of latent heat for ice that is given in the OpenStax College Physics textbook. Remember, convert temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius or Kelvin. ку X= 75
