Two blocks are placed in contact with one another. The one on the left has a temperature of 150 K, and the one on the right has a temperature of 275 K. Left alone, what will hap- pen to the temperatures of the objects? A The blocks will both reach an equilibrium temperature between 150 K and 275 K. Each block will take on the other block's temperature, with 275 K on the left and 150 K on the right. C Both blocks will become hotter until their temperatures reach 425 K. Both blocks will lose heat until they reach a temperature of 125 K.

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?
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?
What is the temperature of ice right after it is formed by freezing water?
In 1701, the Danish astronomer Ole Rømer proposed a temperature scale with two fixed points, freezing water at 7.5 degrees, and boiling water at 60.0 degrees. What is the boiling point of oxygen, 90.2 K, on the Rømer scale?
Most materials expand when heated. One notable exception is water between 0 and 4 , which actually decreases in volume with the increase in temperature. Which is greater for water in this temperature region, Cp or Cv ?
Compare the rate of heat conduction through a 13.0-cm-thick wall that has an area of 10.0 m2 and a thermal conductivity that of glass wool with the rate of heat conduction through a 0.750-cm-thick window that has an area of 2.00 m2, assuming the same temperature difference across each.
Some gun fanciers make their own bullets, which involves melting lead and casting it into lead slugs. How much heat transfer is needed to raise the temperature and melt 0.500 kg of lead, stating from 25.0 ?
One easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose a single-story cubical house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the house to have dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0 m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windows and doors, and assume that the interior is uniformly at one temperature and the exterior is uniformly at another.
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.
A 0.250-kg block of a pule material is heated from 20.0 to 65.0 by the addition of 4.35 kJ of energy. Calculate its specific heat and identify the substance of which it is most likely composed.
W/ solution please ty. An insulated calorimeter of mass 120g and of specific heat capacity of 0.22 cal/(g.C), contains 150g of water with a temperature of 20 A 200g metal ball at a temperature of 97 when added to the calorimeter causes the water reach a temperature of 27at thermal equilibrium. The specific heat capacity of water is 1.0 cal/(g.). What is the heat lost by the metal ball? What is the specific heat capacity of the metal ball?
