Chapter 18, Problem 18.28DQ
Hydrothermal vents are openings in the ocean floor that discharge very hot water. The water emerging from one such vent off the Oregon coast, 2400 m below the surface, is at 279°C. Despite its high temperature, the water doesn’t boil. Why not?

The prevailing winds on the Hawaiian island of Kauai blow from the northeast. The winds cool as they go up the slope of Mt. Waialeale (elevation 1523 m), causing water vapor to condense and rain to fall. There is much more precipitation at the summit than at the base of the mountain. In fact, Mt. Waialeale is the rainiest spot on earth, averaging 11.7 m of rainfall a year. But what makes the winds cool?
The temperature of the ocean off the coast of New Jersey ranges from about 3 °C in late winter to about 24 °C in late summer. If we assume that the ocean temperature is representative of a layer that is 25 m deep and the only exchange of energy is at the ocean surface, what is the average energy flux at ocean surface that would be required to account for this temperature change?
I have a bucket of icewater with 100 grams of ice and 900 grams of liquid water all at zero degrees Celcius. I throw a hot chunk of iron into it (after which no heat enters or escapes the system), and the final temperature is 100 degrees Celcius with the ice having melted and some of the water actually boiling.
The mass of the iron is 465 grams, and its initial temperature is 3,260 degrees Celcius.
How many grams of water actually boil? (Don't write the unit, just the number.)
You'll need these numbers:
Specific heat of water: 4.2 J/g/deg
Specific heat of iron: 0.46 J/g/deg
Heat of fusion of water: 340 J/g
Heat of Vaporization of water: 2300 J/g
