A plastic cup of negligible mass contains 0.280 kg of an unknown liquid at a temperature of 30.0 °C. A 0.0270 kgkg mass of ice at a temperature of 0.0°C°C is added to the liquid, and when thermal equilibrium is reached the temperature of the combined substances is 14.0 °C°C. Assuming no heat is exchanged with the surroundings, what is the specific heat capacity of the unknown liquid? Express your answer in joules per kilogram-kelvin.

A piece of glass has a temperature of 81.0 °C. Liquid that has a temperature of 43.0 °C is poured over the glass, completely covering it, and the temperature at equilibrium is 51.0 °C. The mass of the glass and the liquid is the same. Ignoring the container that holds the glass and liquid and assuming that the heat lost to or gained from the surroundings is negligible, determine the specific heat capacity of the liquid. number units
A Styrofoam box has a surface area of 0.9 m2 and a wall thickness of 1.8 cm. The temperature of the inner surface is 6.6°C, and the outside temperature is 24°C. If it takes 7.7 h for 8 kg of ice to melt in the container, determine the thermal conductivity of the Styrofoam. Final answer in three decimal places. For water, Lf = 334 000 J/ kg.
A wall in a house contains a single window. The window consists of a single pane of glass whose area is 0.13 m2 and whose thickness is 3 mm. Treat the wall as a slab of the insulating material Styrofoam whose area and thickness are 18 m2 and 0.15 m, respectively. Heat is lost via conduction through the wall and the window. The temperature difference between the inside and outside is the same for the wall and the window. Of the total heat lost by the wall and the window, what is the percentage lost by the window? Percentage lost by window = Number Units the tolerance is +/-2%

You drop an ice cube into an insulated flask full of water and wait for the ice cube to completely melt. The ice cube initially has a mass of 65.0 g and a temperature of 0°C. The water (before the ice cube is added) has a mass of 670 g and an initial temperature of 28.0°C. What is the final temperature (in °C) of the mixture? (Assume no energy is lost to the walls of the flask, or to the environment.)

You have 975 grams of liquid water in a 275 gram glass container. Initially, the water and the container both have a temperature of 22.5 ̊C. You would like to cool the water and the container to a final temperature of 10.5 ̊C. You have a large supply of ice, which is initially at 0 ̊C. How much ice would you need to add to the container in order to get the desired final temperature after the ice melts and thermal equilibrium is reached? Give your answer in grams. The specific heat of liquid water is 4,186 J kg−1 ̊C−1, the specific heat of glass is 845 J kg−1 ̊C−1, and the latent heat of fusion of water is 333,500 J kg−1. Assume that the glass + liquid water + ice is an isolated system (i.e., no heat flows in or out of the system during this process).

The water resulting from the melted ice reaches the temperature of his skin, 30.5 °C. How much heat is absorbed by the ice cube and resulting water? Assume that all of the water remains in the hand. Constants for water can be found in this table. q= J
A piece of cold iron of mass 3 kg is lowered into 10 kg of water at 96 °C. The initial temperature of the iron is 18 °C. Assuming no loss of heat to the surroundings, calculate the final temperature of the mixture (water and iron), correct to two decimal places. Assume specific heat capacity of iron to be 500 J/kg°C. Specific heat capacity of water is 4190 J/kg°C. The final temperature of the mixture is °C.
