A student has a calorimeter with 211.7 grams of 26.6∘C water contained within it. The student then adds 130.7 grams of 93.8 ∘C water to that calorimeter and stirs. To what equilibrium temperature will the cold water in the calorimeter rise to? (Calculate your result in Celsius, but do not include those units in you answer).

If the gas in Exercise 23 is initially at room temperature (20C) and is heated in an isobaric (constant-pressure) process, then what will be the temperature of the gas in degrees Celsius when it has expanded to a volume of 0.700 m3?
Compare the SI units of specific heat and latent heat and explain any differences.
A person taking a reading of the temperature in a freezer in Celsius makes two mistakes: first omitting the negative sign and then thinking the temperature is Fahrenheit. That is, the person reads xC as xF . Oddly enough, the result is the correct Fahrenheit temperature. What is the original Celsius reading? Round your answer to three significant figures.

How much heat is absorbed by a persons hand if 100 grams of liquid water at 100°C is poured on his hand? (Assume the final temperature of the water will be normal body temperature of 37°C) How much heat is absorbed by a persons hand if 100 grams of steam at 100°C is first converted to liquid water at 100°C and then cooled to normal body temperature? Which causes the more severe burn hot water or steam? Why?
