A student performs an experiment using an aluminum container, with a mass of 0.150 kg, that contains 0.285 kg of water, all initially at 26.0°C. The student then adds a sample of an unknown substance to the water. The sample has a mass of 1.5 kg and an initial temperature of 96.0°C. After waiting until the entire system reaches thermal equilibrium, the student measures a final temperature of 32.0°C. What is the specific heat (in J/(kg · oC)) of the unknown substance? You may assume the thermal energy transferred to the environment during the experiment is negligible. J/(kg · °C)

The boiling point of a liquid is 28.3°C. A portion of the liquid is at equilibrium with its vapor at 22.3°C in a sealed flask. The temperature rises to to 32.6°C.What happens inside the container? Liquid is converted to vapor, the new equilbrium mixture contains less liquid and more vapor. The vapor is all converted to liquid. Vapor is converted to liquid, the new equilibrium mixture contains more liquid and less vapor. The liquid is all converted to vapor.
You happen to come across a piece of metal that has a density of p 8.12 g/cm3 when the temperature is To = 42.5 °C. If the metal is cooled to a temperature of T1 0.00 °C, does the density change? Yes, the density will decrease since the volume changes. Yes, since the metal contracts and the mass is constant, the density will increase. No, because as the volume changes so does the mass. No, density does not depend on temperature. Calculate the density of the piece of metal at this temperature, P1. The coefficient of volume expansion for this piece of metal is B = 7.62 x 10-5 1/°C. -0.0263 Pi = g/cm3 Incorrect
