Consider the change in the internal energy of a system. -What is the change in the internal energy, in joules, of a system that does 4.725 × 105 J of work, while 3.2 × 106 J of heat is transferred into the system and 7.8 × 106 J of heat is transferred from the system to the environment?
Over the course of a day, 4.0 kg of water evaporates from the leaves of a corn plant. a) How much energy is required to evaporate the water? (Assume that the temperature of the leaves is 30C.) b) If the plant is active for 12 hours, how much power does this correspond to? You can think of this as the necessary power to drive transport in the plant.
Suppose that you have left a 200 mL cup of coffee sitting until it has cooled to 30◦ C, which you find totally unacceptable. Your microwave oven draws 1100W of electrical power when it is running. If it takes 45s for this microwave oven to raise the temperature of the coffee to 60◦ C, what is the efficiency of heating with this oven? You will need to use the fact that 4.2 J of energy is required to raise the temperature of 1.0 mL of coffee by 1.0◦ C.
It is difficult to extinguish a fire on a crude oil tanker, because each liter of crude oil releases a large amount of energy, 2.80 × 107 J, when burned. To illustrate this difficulty, calculate the number of liters of water that must be expended to absorb the energy released by burning 0.95 L of crude oil, if the water has its temperature raised from 20.0°C to 100°C, it boils, and the resulting steam is raised to 300°C. The latent heat of vaporization for water is Ly 2256 kJ/kg, and in this problem, take 1520 J/kg.°C as the specific heat of steam. V =
Suppose you have 2.5kg of steam at 100 degrees celcius occupying 6.5 meters cubed at a pressure of 1.013 x 10^5 Pa. When the steam condenses to water at 100 degrees celcius it occupies a volume of 0.55 meters cubed. If the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.26 x 10^6 J/kg, what was the change in the water's internal energy?

A container holding 4.20 kg of water at 20.0°C is placed in a freezer that is kept at -20.0°C. The water freezes and comes to thermal equilibrium with the interior of the freezer. What is the minimum amount of electrical energy required by the freezer to do this if it operates between reservoirs at temperatures of 20.0°C and –-20.0°C? (Latent heat of fusion of ice = capacity of water = 4186 J/(kg K), specific heat capacity of ice = 2100 J/(kg K)). 333,700 J/ kg, specific heat kJ
