Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 43P
You’re winter camping and are melting snow for drinking water. The snow temperature is right around 0°C. You set a pot containing 5.0 kg of snow on your campfire, and you keep stoking up the fire. As a result, the snow gains energy at an increasing rate: P = a + bt, where a = 1.1 kW, b = 2.3 W/s, and t is the time in s. To the nearest minute, how long will it take to melt the snow?

The heat of evaporation of water at atmospheric pressure is Lv 2260 kJ/kg.
a. How much of this heat represents work done to expand the water into steam against the pressure of the atmosphere?
b. What becomes of the rest of the heat? At T= 100°C and p=1.0 atm, the density of water is 1.00 × 10³ kg/m³ and the density of steam is 0.600kg/m³?
One gram of water (1 cm3) becomes 875 cm3 of steam when boiled at a constant pressure of 1 atm (1.013 x 105 Pa). The heat of vaporization at this pressure is Lv = 2.256 x 106 J/kg. Compute a) the heat absorbed by the water b) the work done by the water when it vaporizes and c) its increase in internal energy.
A well-insulated styrofoam bucket contains 146 g of ice at 0 °C. If 20 g of steam at 100 °C is injected into the bucket,what is the final equilibrium temperature of the system?(c water=4186 J/kg.°C, Lf= 3.35*10 ^5 J/kg, Lv=2.26*10^6 J/kg)
