    This can be solve using heat balance. The amount of heat the lead released is equal to the amount of heat the ice absorb.

    The heat release by the leas = m1*Cp*deltaT

    Where m1 is the mass of lead

    Cp is the specific heat of lead

    Delta is the change of temperature

    Heat absorbed by the ice = m2Lf

    Where m2 is the mass of ice

    Lf is the latent heat of fusion of ice

    M1*Cp*deltaT = m2Lf

    (15g) (0.128 j/g C) (120 - 0 C) = m2 (333/g)

    Solving for m2

    M2 = 0.69 kg of ice melts
