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.

Nitrogen is released at one end of a pressure chamber of length 30 meters and takes 7 hours and 44 minutes to diffuse from one end of the chamber to the other. Given that the mean radius of a nitrogen molecule is 0.15 nm, and the chamber is at room temperature (∼300 K), determine the pressure to which the chamber was set (in atm).
