### Heat Transfer Between a Hot Iron Nail and Cold WaterWhen a small hot iron nail is put into a pot of cold water, the following principles of heat transfer apply. Consider the options below to identify the accurate statement:1. **The decrease in iron temperature equals the increase in the water temperature.**2. **The final temperature of the iron and water is halfway between the initial temperatures of each.**3. **The quantity of heat lost by the iron equals the quantity of heat gained by the water.**#### Explanation:- **Option 1**: This implies a direct correlation between the temperatures of the two substances but is not necessarily true because the specific heat capacities of iron and water are different.- **Option 2**: This is an oversimplified statement and not generally true because the final temperature depends on the masses and specific heat capacities of the two substances.- **Option 3**: This is the correct statement. According to the principle of conservation of energy, the heat lost by the iron (which cools down) equals the heat gained by the water (which warms up).Thus, the correct statement when a small hot iron nail is placed into a pot of cold water is:- **The quantity of heat lost by the iron equals the quantity of heat gained by the water.**

The substance must be cooler than its environment. The substance undergoes a change of phase. The substance has unusual thermal properties. The substance must be a gas. O The substance must be a non-perfect solid.
The number of kilocalories in food is determined by calorimetry techniques in which the food is burned and the amount of heat transfer is measured. How many kilocalories per gram are there in a 5.00-g peanut if the energy from burning it is transferred to 0.500 kg of water held in a 0.100-kg aluminum cup, causing a 54.9°C temperature increase?
The air temperature above coastal areas is profoundly influenced by the large specific heat of water. One reason is that the energy released when 1 cubic meter of water cools by 1.0°C will raise the temperature of an enormously larger volume of air by 1.0°C. Estimate that volume of air. The specific heat of air is approximately 1.0 kJ/kg ? °C. Take the density of air to be 1.3 kg/m3.
QUESTION 4 Situation: The specific heat of an object can be measured by placing it in thermal contact with another object whose specific heat is known. As an example, suppose that a chunk of metal, whose mass is 0.21 kg, is immersed in boiling water (100 °C) until it reaches thermal equilibrium, at which time it has a temperature of 100 °C. The chunk of metal is then quickly transferred into a styrofoam (insulating) cup containing 0.18 kg of water at 20 °C. After a minute or so, the temperature of the contents of the cup stabilizes at 33 °C. Assume that once the metal is added to the cup the only energy transfer is between the hot metal and the colder water. In other words, there are no significant energy transfers to either the cup itself or to the surroundings. The specific heat of water in the relevant range of temperature is roughly 4.2 kJ kg 1 °c-1, Question: What is the specific heat of the metal (in units of kJ kg1 °C-1, but do not include units in your answer)? Hint: Solving…

A 0.100 kg piece of ice at initial temperature −5.00 ◦C is placed in a perfectly insulated container with 1.00 kg (1 L) of water at initial temperature 20.0 ◦C. The container absorbs or releases no heat. All of the ice melts as the system reaches an equilibrium temperature Tf . How much heat must the ice exchange with the rest of the system to raise its temperature to the melting point, 0.00 ◦C? Would this heat exchanged be positive, zero, or negative? Once the ice reaches its melting point, how much heat must the ice exchange with the rest of the system to melt? Would this heat exchanged be positive, zero, or negative?
