A student drops two metallic objects Into a 120-g steel container holding 150 g of water at 25°C. One object is a 220-g cube of copper that is initially at 90°C, and the other is a chunk of aluminum that is initially at 5.0°C. To the surprise of the student, the water reaches a final temperature of 25°C, precisely where il started. What is the mass of the aluminum chunk? kg Need Help? Read It

A hollow aluminum cylinder 20.0 cm deep has an internal capacity of 2.000 L at 20.0C. It is completely filled with turpentine at 20.0C. The turpentine and the aluminum cylinder are then slowly warmed together to 80.0C. (a) How much turpentine overflows? (b) What is the volume of the turpentine remaining in the cylinder at 80.0C? (c) If the combination with this amount of turpentine is then cooled back to 20.0C, how far below the cylinders rim does the turpentines surface recede?
A high-end gas stove usually has at least one burner rated at 14 000 Btu/h. (a) If you place a 0.25-kg aluminum pot containing 2.0 liters of water at 20.C on this burner, how long will it take to bring the water to a boil, assuming all the heat from the burner goes into the pot? (b) Once boiling begins how much time is required to boil all the water out of the pot?
The Trans-Alaskan pipeline is 1 300 km long, reaching from Prudhoe Bay to the port of Valdez, and is subject to temperatures ranging from 73C to +35C. (a) How much does the steel pipeline expand due to the difference in temperature? (b) How can one compensate for this expansion?
In 1986, a gargantuan iceberg broke away from the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica. It was approximately a rectangle 160 km long, 40.0 km wide, and 250 m thick. (a) What is the mass of this iceberg, given that the density of ice is 917kg/m3 ? (b) How much heat transfer (in joules) is needed to melt it? (c) How many years would it take sunlight alone to melt ice this thick, if the ice absorbs an average of 100W/m2, 12.00 h per day?
(a) What is the rate of heat conduction through the 3.00-cm-thick fur of a large animal having a I .40-m surface area? Assume that the animal's skin temperature is 32.0 , that the air temperature is 5.00 , and that has the same thermal conductivity as air. (b) What food intake will the animal need in one day to replace this heat transfer?
Your 500 mL diet soda, with a mass of 500 g, is at 20°C, room temperature, so you cool it by adding 100 g of ice from the -20°C freezer. Does all the ice melt? If so, what is the final temperature? If not, what fraction of the ice melts? Assume that you have a well-insulated cup.
If 200 cm^3 of tea at 95°C is poured into a 150-g glass cup initially at 25°C, what will be the common final temperature T of the tea and cup when equilibrium is reached, assuming no heat flows to the surroundings? c(glass)= 840 J/kg·K c(water) = 4186 J/kg·K
A 1.5kg iron horseshoe at 800C is dropped into a bucket of water at 20 C. If the mass of water in the bucket is 5kg, what is the final temperature of the water-iron mixture, given c iron=448 J/kgoC and c water= 4187 J/kgoC?
If you pour 0.0100 kg of 20.0C water onto a 1.20-kg block of ice (which is initially at -15.0C), what is the final temperature? You may assume that the water cools so rapidly that effects of the surroundings are negligible.
An ice cube is 50 grams in mass and at 0⁰C temperature. If the ice cube is dropped into an 80 grams Aluminum calorimeter cup which contains 200 grams of water, both at 30⁰C, what is the final equilibrium temperature? [c(Al) = 900 J/kg.⁰C, c(water) = 4186 J/kg.⁰C, Lf = 3.33 x 105 J/kg]
