Students want to impress their physics teacher by writing an essay which describes the heating of ice at a temperature below 0°C to steam at a temperature above 100°C. Write such a paragraph using the terms energy, temperature, and phase change. Be sure to include a description of the five major stages.

Is a uniform-temperature gas more or less orderly than one with several different temperatures? Which is more structured? In which can heat transfer result in work done without heat transfer from another system?

What is the change in internal energy of a system that takes in 4.43  106 J of heat, and does 4.50  105 J of work while dissipating 8.67  106 J of heat?

Suppose your favorite TV scientist has equal masses of frozen water (ice) and liquid water. If she decides to cause both substances to go through a phase change to a phase with more energy (ice to water, water to steam), which substance will require more energy to change phases? Assume we are only dealing with phase changes, not temperature changes. a. Changing liquid water to steam requires more energy. b. They require the same amount of energy.     c. Changing ice to liquid water requires more energy.

What does zeroth law of thermodynamics tell us about measuring the temperature of an object?

What is the change in internal energy of a system which does 6.5×105 J of work while 3.00×106 J of heat transfer occurs into the system, and 5.00×106 J of heat transfer occurs to the environment
