A/C to thermodynamics , 
Heat flow from higer temperature body to lower temperature body 
Heat loss by water = Heat gain by ice 
Given, mass of water = 80gm 
specific heat of water = 1 Cal/gm/°C 
∴ Heat loss by water = MS∆T 
= 80 × 1 × (30 -0) 
= 80 × 1 × 30 
= 2400cal 
Heat gain by ice = MLf 
Lf is latent heat of fusion = 80Cal/gm 
M is the mass of melted ice 
Now, 2400 = 80M
M = 30gm 
Hence , 30gm of ice is melted
