In an experiment, a 0.160-kg piece of ceramic superconducting material at 17 °C is placed in liquid nitrogen at its boiling point (−195.8 °C) to cool. The nitrogen is in a perfectly insulated flask that allows the gaseous N2 to escape immediately. How much mass of liquid nitrogen will be boiled away? (Take the specific heat of the ceramic material to be the same as that of glass.)
A meteor melts when it enters the Earth’s atmosphere. Assuming that the meteor is primarily made of iron and that its initial temperature was −125°C outside of Earth’s atmosphere, calculate the minimum speed it must have had before it entered Earth’s atmosphere. (The specific heat, the melting point, and the latent heat of fusion for iron are 450 J/kg.°C, 1808°C, and 2.89 x 10^5 J/kg , respectively.)
A 2.35-kg sample of water at 18.8°C is in a calorimeter. You drop a piece of steel with a mass of 0.58 kg at 196°C into it. After the sizzling subsides, what is the final equilibrium temperature? (Make the reasonable assumptions that any steam produced condenses into liquid water during the process of equilibration and that the evaporation and condensation don't affect the outcome). Express your answer in °C, to at least one digit after the decimal point.
Assume Lake Michigan contains 4.90 x 1012 m³ of water, and assume the water's density is that of water at 20°C and 1 atm. (a) How much energy (in J) is required to raise the temperature of that volume of water from 12.2°C to 24.4°C? 4.1E19 From the density of water and the volume, what is the mass of the water? What is specific heat? How is it related to the energy input, mass, and temperature change? Use it to solve for the energy. Be careful with units. J (b) How many years would it take to supply this amount of energy by using a power of 1,400 MW generated by an electric power plant? 926 How is power related to energy and time? Knowing the energy from part (a), can you find the time? Be careful with units. Make sure you convert the time in seconds to years. yr
The initial temperature of 60 g of ice is -200C. The specific heat capacity of ice is 0.5 cal/g.C0 and water’s is 1 cal/g.C0. The latent heat of fusion of water is 80 cal/g. How much heat is required to raise the ice to 00C and completely melt the ice? (b) How much additional heat is required to heat the water (obtained by melting the ice) to 620C?
Ice has formed on a shallow pond, and a steady state has been reached, with the air above the ice at -7.6°C and the bottom of the pond at 3.7°C. If the total depth of ice + water is 2.3 m, how thick is the ice? (Assume that the thermal conductivities of ice and water are 0.40 and 0.12 cal/m-Cº-s, respectively.) Number Units
A small electric immersion heater is used to heat 79 g of water for a cup of instant coffee. The heater is labeled “72 watts" (it converts electrical energy to thermal energy at this rate). Calculate the time required to bring all this water from 20°C to 100°C, ignoring any heat losses. (The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg-K.) Number Units

A 1.19-kg sample of water at 13°C is in a calorimeter. You drop a piece of steel with a mass of 0.31 kg at 224°C into it. After the sizzling subsides, what is the final equilibrium temperature? Make the reasonable assumptions that any steam produced condenses into liquid water during the process of equilibration and that the evaporation and condensation taken together don't affect the outcome, as we'll see later. Hint The final equilibrium temperature of water and steel is °C. If the water is in a glass beaker with a mass of 0.2 kg, which in turn is in a calorimeter, with the beaker at the same temperature as the water, how will this affect the answer?
