Chapter 5, Problem 11Q
(¦ Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.)
. A company decides to make a novelty glass thermometer that uses water instead of mercury or alcohol.
(a) The thermometer would include a warning informing the user mat it should not be exposed to temperatures below 0°C Why?
(b) Suppose the thermometer is taken outside where the temperature is 1°C Describe how the level of the water would change as it adjusts to the new temperature and how at some point it would behave very differently than a mercury- or alcohol-filled thermometer.

What is the specific heat of a substance that requires 3500J in order to raise its temperatures from 10°C to 35°C when its mass is at 100 grams. Give the answer using units of K and kg. What does this result mean?
On a bright summer day, the temperature of an 81,978 L pool increases by 1 Celsius. What is the net heat transfer in J during this process if we consider the specific heat of water to be 4,186 J/kg Celsius and it’s density to be 0.9949 g/cm^3?
A swimming pool measuring20.0 m × 12.5 m is filled with water to a depth of 3.75m. If the initial temperature is 18.4°C, how much heatmust be added to the water to raise its temperature to29.0°C? Assume that the density of water is 1.000 g/mL.
