An eager scientist on a hot summer day needs to determine how much ice to buy. She has a cooler which is filled with 34 cans of soda at a temperature of 87.7°F. Each can has a mass of 384 g. The scientist wants the temperature of the drinks to be 40.8°F. If there is no heat lost by the cooler and ignoring any heat lost to the soda containers, what mass mice of ice needs must she add to her cooler? Assume the temperature of the ice is 32.0 °F. The latent heat of fusion for ice is 80.0 cal/g, the specific heat of water is 1.00 cal/g-°C, the specific heat of the soda is 0.900 cal/g-°C, and there are 454 grams per pound. 0.218 lbs Mice = Incorrect
Energy transfer
The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.
Molar Specific Heat
Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)
Thermal Properties of Matter
Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which is transferred between the two systems or in between the systems and their surrounding by the virtue of difference in temperature. Calorimetry is that branch of science which helps in measuring the changes which are taking place in the heat energy of a given body.
