A 48.9 g silver spoon at 15.9°C is placed in a cup of coffee at 90.9°C. A short time later, the spoon is at 85.7°C. If, during this same time, the temperature of the coffee has fallen by 0.4°C, what is the mass of the coffee? (csilver = 0.056 cal/g°C and assume ccoffee= 1.0 cal/g°C)

A hot air balloon uses the principle of buoyancy to create lift. By making the air inside the balloon less dense then the surrounding air, the balloon is able to lift objects many times its own weight. A large hot air balloon has a maximum balloon volume of 2090 m3. a. If the air temperature in the balloon is 54 °C, how much additional mass, in kilograms, can the balloon lift? Assume the molar mass of air is 28.97 g/mol, the air density is 1.20 kg/m3, and the air pressure is 1 atm.
