Which one of the following choices best describes the initial mass of –5.00 degrees C ice, compared to the initial mass of +5.00 degrees C water, if the final equilibrium state is entirely ice at 0 degrees C?
A. m_ice < m_water.
B. m_ice = m_water.
C. m_ice > m_water.
D. (Not enough information is given to determine the relative mass of ice and water in the initial state of the system.)
