In the simulation, set up the situation shown above. Heat the iron and place it in the water. Assume the water's initial temperature is 29.9°C. If you heated the iron to a temperature of 281°C, what is the final thermal equilibrium temperature (in °C) of the iron-water system assuming negligible heat lost to the surroundings? Use the specific heat values found in the video lessons.

How long does it take a 750-WW coffeepot to bring to a boil 0.85 LL of water initially at 18 ∘C∘C? Assume that the part of the pot which is heated with the water is made of 360 gg of aluminum, and that no water boils away. Ignore the heat loss to the surrounding environment. The value of specific heat for water is 4186 J/kg⋅C∘J/kg⋅C∘ and for aluminum is 900 J/kg⋅C∘J/kg⋅C∘. Express your answer using two significant figures. In seconds
How much heat must be added to 120 g of water at an ini-tial temperature of 60°C toa. heat it to the boiling point?b. completely convert the 100°C water to steam?
A thermometer, initially at a temperature of 25 oC, is suddenly immersed in a tank of water with a temperature of 100 oC. Assuming that it takes 7.5 s to achieve 90% response, what is the time constant and what temperature will this thermometer read 5 s after immersion? Demonstrate your answers with an EXCEL graph
The goal in this problem is to find the growth of an ice layer as a function of time. Call the thickness of the ice layer L. (a) Derive an equation for dL/dt in terms of L , the temperature T above the ice, and the properties of ice (which can leave in symbolic form instead of substituting the numbers). (b) Solve this differential equation assuming that at t=0 , you have L=0 . If you have studied differential equations, you will know a technique for solving equations of this type: manipulate the equation to get dL/dt multiplied by a (very simple) function of L on one side, and integrate both sides with respect to time. Alternatively, you may be able to use your knowledge of the derivatives of various functions to guess the solution, which has a simple dependence on t. (c) Will the water eventually freeze to the bottom of the flask?
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.
Repeat the preceding problem, assuming the water is in a glass beaker with a mass of 0.200 kg, which in tum is in a calorimeter. The beaker is initially at the same temperature as the water. Before doing the problem, should the answer be higher or lower than the preceding answer? Comparing the mass and specific heat of the beaker to those of the water, do you think the beaker will make much difference?
What is the percent error of thinking the melting point of tungsten is 3695 instead of the correct value of 3695 K?
A 1.28-kg sample of water at 10.0 is in a calorimeter. You drop a piece of steel with a mass of 0.385 kg at 215 into it. After the sizzling subsides, what is the final equilibrium temperature? (Make the reasonable assumptions that any steam produced condenses into liquid water during the process of equilibration and that the evaporation and condensation don't affect the outcome, as we'll see in the next section.)
Ideal gases A and B are stored in the left and right chambers of an insulated container, as shown below. The partition is removed and the gases mix. Is any done in this process? If the temperatures of A and B are initially equal, what happens to their common temperature after they are mixed?
A mercury thermometer still in use for meteorology has a bulb with a volume of 0.780 cm3 and a tube for the mercury to expand into of inside diameter 0.130 mm. (a) Neglecting the thermal expansion of the glass, what is the spacing between marks 1 apart? (b) If the thermometer is made of ordinary glass (not a good idea), what is the spacing?
A man consumes 3000 kcal of food in one day, converting most of it to thermal energy to maintain body temperature. If he loses half this energy by evaporating water (through breathing and sweating), how many kilograms of water evaporate?
Shown below is a cut-away drawing of a thermos bottle (also known as a Dewar flask), which is a device designed specifically to slow down all forms of heat transfer. Explain the functions of the various parts, such as the vacuum, the silvering of the walls, the thin-walled long glass neck, the rubber support, the air layer, and the stopper.
