The heat required to melt 185 g of ice at 0 C is given by :

QICE = ( mICE ) ( hsfICE ) = ( 185 g ) ( 333.7 J / g ) = 61734.5 J

QW = - QICE = ( mW ) (CshW ) ( - 1.0 C deg )

mW = ( - 61734.5 J ) / ( 4.184 J / g - C deg ) ( - 1.0 C deg )

mW = 14,750 g = 14.75 kg of water <-----

where

mICE is mass of ice

hsfICE is (specific) enthalpy of solid fusion, i.e. enthalpy per unit mass

Cshw is the "heat capacity" of water,

mW is mass of water

NOTE: the literature value for water at °C is actually 4.1858 J/g/°C, so the actual answer should be closer to 14.7485 (not exactly though since the temperature change would be from 15 °C to 14 °C so you would need the heat capacity as a function of temperature over that range, not just the isothermal value at 15 °C). Within the justifiable precision, it still rounds to 14.75 kg, just like the answer above so the error is negligible.

How your body cooled when you perspire?

Perspiration coats the outside of the skin with moisture (water). The water evaporates. Evaporation requires heat to be absorbed by the water (the latent heat of vaporization). Heat is removed from the body surface to provide the water with the latent heat of vaporization.
