Question

Do you know about specific heat and heat of fusion?  This looks like a two-step problem:
   How much energy for the temperature change from -10 to 0 degrees C?
   How much energy for the phase change from solid ice to liquid water?
And we would add both together, making sure to convert to the same units..
