10.13 A copper block of mass 2.5 kg is heated in a furnace to a temperature of

500^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

and then placed on a large ice block. What is the maximum amount of ice that can melt? (Specific heat of copper

=0.39 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~g}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}

; heat of fusion of water

=335 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~g}^{-1}
