100g of water at 25°C is poured into an insulatng cup. 50g of ice at 0°C is added to the water. The water is stirred until the temperature of the water has fallen to 0°C. 18g of ice remains unmelted. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.2J/g°C. Which value does this experiment give for the specific latent heat of fusion of ice?

What will be the final mass ratio (water/steam) when you mix together equal parts ice at 0 degrees C and steam at 100 degrees C? The specific heat of ice is 2100 J/kg*C, the specific heat of water is 4168 J/kg*C and the specific heat of steam is 2010 J/kg*C. The latent heat of fusion for water is 333 kJ/kg and the latent heat of vaporization is 2260 kJ/kg. (The answer will have no units)
A lead bullet a 15°C is brought to rest on hitting a target. If the bullet thereby just melts completely, find the velocity of bullet just before impact. Assume that all the heat produced on impact remains in bullet. Sp. ht. of lead = 0.03 cals/g/°C, melting point of lead = 325°C, L of fusion of lead = 5 cal/g, J= 4.2 x 107 ergs/cal. %3D
A metal container, which has a mass of 7,2 kg contains 17.2 kg of water. A 3.3-kg piece of the same metal, initially at a temperature of 180.0°C, is dropped into the water. The container and the water initially have a temperature of 16.5ºC and the final temperature of the entire system is 18.5°C. Calculate the specific heat of the metal. Note: Units for specific heat is J/(kg*K). You do not need to enter the units.
Arelyz and Hyeonggyun drop a 378.0-g piece of metal at 100.0°C into 447.0 g of water at 20.0°C. The final temperature of the system is measured to be 50.0°C. What is the specific heat of the metal in J/kgK, assuming no heat is exchanged with the surroundings or the cup containing the water? The specific heat of water is 4190 J/(kg K).
When you turn your hot water on in the shower, it takes a bit for the water to get warm. Some of this is because the water in the pipe is cold but some of it is because the water from the hot water heater must heat the copper plumbing pipe itself. Copper has a specific heat of 0.39R. How much energy does it take to heat 2 kilograms of copper pipe from 70°F to 130°F? Report your answer in Joules. (Hint: Note that you'll need to convert kJ to J and F to K.)
