Lava at Ty=1050° C emerges from a volcano. A mass m = 65 kg of this lava flows at a constant velocity of v =0.35 m/s losing Q = 12250 J of heat every second to the surroundings. The lava flows a distance of 250 m before reaching the ocean.Assume that the temperature of the surroundings, Tun = 23° C is unaffected by the cooling of the lava.Part (a) Calculate how long t in seconds it takes before this mass of lava reaches the ocean.Part (b) Calculate the amount of heat Q; in joules lost to the surroundings before this mass reaches the ocean.Part (c) If the specific heat capacity of the lava in this process is c = 840 J/ kg °C, calculate the temperature of this mass of lava T incelsius just before it reaches the ocean.Part (d) Calculate entropy change of the surroundings ASsurr in J/ K while the lava was moving toward the ocean.Part (e) Calculate the change in the entropy of the lava AS in joules per kelvin while the lava was moving toward the ocean.

Since it contains more than 3 sub parts, solution for the first three is provided here.

A parcel of air with a volume of 9.3 x 10 km that contains 4.8 x 10 kg of water vapor rises to an altitude where all the water in the parcel condenses and then freezes. What is the change in temperature of the parcel of air due to freezing? Assume the density of air at the condensation altitude is 7.2 x 10 g/m. The specific heat of air is 0.17 cal/g Co, the latent heat of vaporization of water is 540 cal/g, and the latent heat of fusion of water is 80 cal/g.)

A pot on the stove contains 500 g of water at 20°C. An unknown mass of ice that is originally at −10°C is placed in an identical pot on the stove. Heat is then added to the two samples of water at precisely the same constant rate. Assume that this heat is transferred immediately to the ice or water (in other words, neglect the increase in temperature for the pot). We will also neglect evaporation. The ice melts and becomes water, and you observe that both samples of water reach 60.0°C at the same time. Solve for the mass of the ice that was originally in the second pot. The specific heat of liquid water is 4186 J/(kg °C), and of solid water is 2060 J/(kg °C). The latent heat of fusion of water is 3.35 105 J/kg.
