A dead body was found within a closed room of a house where the temperature was a constant 24° C. At the time of discovery, the core temperature of the body was determined to be 28° C. One hour later, a second measurement showed that the core temperature of the body was 26° C. The core temperature of the body at the time of death is 37° C. A. Determine how many hours elapsed before the body was found. Answer: hours B. What is the temperature of the body 5 hours from the death of the victim? Answer: C

There is a calorimeter composed of a thermally insulated container. Inside it are 1.2 kg of ice at −15 ∘C. How much mass of water at 60 ∘C needs to be added in the calorimeter for the final temperature to be 5 ∘C? If water vapor were introduced at 100 ∘C instead of water, how much mass of steam would have to be added for the final temperature to be 30 ∘C? What volume would the water vapor in the previous part occupy (before adding it to the calorimeter) if the pressure at which it is contained is 1.20 × 105 Pa? NOTE: The molar mass of water is 18 g / mol. ice = 2090 J / kg ∘C. water = 4180 J / kg ∘C. Lf, water = 3.33 × 105 J / kg. Lv, water = 2.26 × 106 J / kg

4. An iron block of unknown mass at 85oC is dropped into an insulated tank that contains 100L of water at 20oC. At the same time, a paddle wheel driven by a 200W motor is activated to stir the water. It is observed that thermal equilibrium is established after 20min with a final temperature of 24oC. Assuming that the container is perfectly insulated, determine the mass of the iron block (kg). Use C of IRON= 0.44 kJ/kg-K. draw a figure also, and explain each step by step solution.
