To find the final temperature of the mixture of ice and water, we need to consider the heat transfer between the two substances until they reach thermal equilibrium.

Step 1: Heat Required to Melt Ice
- The ice starts at -10°C and needs to reach 0°C before it can melt.
- The specific heat of ice is 2100 J/kg·K.
- Heat required to raise the temperature of ice:
\[ Q_1 = m_{ice} \cdot c_{ice} \cdot \Delta T \]
\[ Q_1 = 10 \, \text{kg} \cdot 2100 \, \text{J/kg·K} \cdot (0 - (-10)) \]
\[ Q_1 = 10 \cdot 2100 \cdot 10 = 210000 \, \text{J} \]
- Next, we need to melt the ice at 0°C into water:
\[ Q_{fusion} = m_{ice} \cdot L_f \]
(Assuming \( L_f \) = 334,000 J/kg for ice)
\[ Q_{fusion} = 10 \cdot 334000 = 3340000 \, \text{J} \]

Step 2: Heat Lost by Water
- The water cools from 45°C to the final temperature \( T_f \).
\[ Q_2 = m_{water} \cdot c_{water} \cdot (T_{initial} - T_f) \]
\[ Q_2 = 40 \, \text{kg} \cdot 4186 \, \text{J/kg·K} \cdot (45 - T_f) \]

Step 3: Heat Balance Equation
- Setting heat gained by ice equal to heat lost by water:
\[ Q_1 + Q_{fusion} = Q_2 \]
\[ 210000 + 3340000 = 40 \cdot 4186 \cdot (45 - T_f) \]

Step 4: Solve for Final Temperature
- Combine and simplify to find \( T_f \):
\[ 3550000 = 167440 \cdot (45 - T_f) \]
- Solving for \( T_f \) yields the final temperature of the mixture.
This stepwise approach leads to the conclusion of the final equilibrium temperature when all calculations are performed, resulting in an approximate final temperature around 0°C, depending on the calculations.
