Answer :
Final answer:
To find the final temperature of the ice-water mixture, apply the conservation of energy and heat transfer equation to determine a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius. Thus, The correct answer to the student's question is option c) 0 degrees Celsius.
Explanation:
The final temperature of the mixture can be calculated using the principle of conservation of energy and heat transfer. In this case, we have ice at -10 degrees Celsius and water at 30 degrees Celsius.
By applying the equation for heat transfer Q = mcΔT, we can determine the final temperature of the mixture to be 0 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, the correct option is c) 0 degrees Celsius.
