The specific heats of aluminum and iron are 0.214 and 0.107 calories per gram degrees Celsius [cal/(g °C)] respectively. If we add the same amount of energy to a cube of each material (of the same mass) and find that the temperature of the aluminum increases by 27 degrees Fahrenheit [°F], how much will the iron temperature increase in degrees Fahrenheit [°F]?
Given the heat capacity of copper (0.385 J/goC) and of water, if you place a 100oC copper block into a cup of 20oC water, what do you expect the equilibrium temperature of the two to be, in oC? Assume that the cup is well insulated so that there is no heat gain from or loss to the environment. The block and the water in the cup have the same mass.
In the heating seasons the heat loss from a building (and thus the heating cost) is strongly dependent on the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperature. If the average outdoor temperature in a particular city during the heating season is 45 F (7 C), what is the effect on heating cost percentage-wise if the thermostat setting is fixed at 74 F (23.3 F) instead of 68 F (20 C)?

Suppose you want to raise the temperature of a mass m of ice from T0 < 0 °C to T > 100 °C. In this problem, represent the heat of fusion as Lf, the heat of vaporization as Lv, and the temperatures at which the phase changes occur as Tf and Tv.
How much heat must be transferred for this to happen, including the energy needed for phase changes? Your answer should be in terms of the variables in the introduction and the specific heats of ice (ci), water (cw), and steam (cs). The talent heats are Lf= 334kJ/kg and Lv=2256kJ/kg?
