    The energy absorbed from the body = 302.82 J

    Explanation:

    Note: a Snow is an an ice

    The heat absorbed from the body = heat required to change the temperature of snow from - 9 °C to 37 °C. + The latent heat of snow

    H = c₁m (t₂-t₁) + c₂m ... Equation 2

    Where H = heat absorbed from the body, c₁ = specific heat capacity of ice, c₂ = specific latent heat of fusion of ice, m = mass of ice.

    Given: m = 0.7 kg, t₂ = 37 °C, t₁ = - 9 °C

    Constant: c₁ = 2.1 g/g.°C, c₂ = 336 J/g

    Substituting these values into equation 1,

    H = 0.7*2.1 * (37+9) + 0.7 (336)

    H = 67.62 + 235.2

    H = 302.82 J

    Thus, the energy absorbed from the body = 302.82 J
