A cube of solid benzene (C6H6; M = 78.11 g/mol) at its melting point and weighing 8.90 g is placed in 21.6 g of water at 39.0 °C. Given that the heat of fusion of benzene is 9.92 kJ/mol, to what temperature will the water have cooled by the time all of the benzene has melted. You can assume that the benzene remains at its melting point.
