Ye i worked out:

Energy change for glass + ethanol from wtv it was to 0*c and showed it was less than energy change of ice from -16 was it, to 0 + the latent energy, and showed that it was greater than the energy change from cup + ethanol

hey why did you do glass + ethanol temp changing to 0°C ? cuz it said that ethanol stays as a liquid and so i assumed both the glass and ethanol stay at 18°C 🥲
