Michael and Sara are performing calorimetry experiments. Michael places a 665-g empty iron pot on the stove. Sara measures the initial temperature of the pot to 15°C. After a few minutes, she measures the temperature of the pot to be 36°C. How much heat did the pot absorb during this time? (The specific heat for iron is 470 J/kgK)

A family comes home from a long vacation with laundry to do and showers to take. The water heater has been turned off during the vacation. If the heater has a capacity of 50.0 gallons and a 4,500-W heating element, how much time is required to raise the temperature of the water from 20.0°C to 55.0°C? Assume the heater is well insulated and no water is withdrawn from the tank during that time
A metal container, which has a mass of 7,2 kg contains 17.2 kg of water. A 3.3-kg piece of the same metal, initially at a temperature of 180.0°C, is dropped into the water. The container and the water initially have a temperature of 16.5ºC and the final temperature of the entire system is 18.5°C. Calculate the specific heat of the metal. Note: Units for specific heat is J/(kg*K). You do not need to enter the units.
Incorrect. An insulated Thermos contains 130 cm3 of hot coffee at 88.0°C. You put in a 19.0 g ice cube at its melting point to cool the coffee. By how many degrees has your coffee cooled once the ice has melted and equilibrium is reached? Treat the coffee as though it were pure water and neglect energy exchanges with the environment. The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg-K. The latent heat of fusion is 333 kJ/kg. The density of water is 1.00 g/cm³. Number i 66.63 Units C°

Samples A and B are at different initial temperatures when they are placed in a thermally insulated container and allowed to come to thermal equilibrium. Figure (a) gives their temperatures T versus time t. Sample A has a mass of 4.79 kg; sample B has a mass of 1.50 kg. Figure (b) is a general plot for the material of sample B. It shows the temperature change AT that the material undergoes when energy is transferred to it as heat Q.

On a warm afternoon (26°C), James is making fruit punch while the ice is melting (0°C) in a bowl. Assume that the specific heat capacity of the punch is 2.7 x 103 J kg-1°C-1 and of water is 4.2 x 103 J kg-1°C-1. The latent heat of fusion of water is 3.34 x 105 J kg-1. I. Michelle, a friend of James, likes her punch served ice cold, at O°C. What is the minimum mass ice cube she should select to cool her 60-gram punch from 26°C to 0°C? II. James prefers his 60-gram punch served at little warmer. What temperature will the drink be if he places a 6 g ice cube into his punch? III. Sanya, another friend, decides she wants a cup of tea. She uses 2000 W mains operated kettle filled with 1.20 kg of water at room temperature (26°C). How long will she have to wait for the water to reach boiling point (100°C)?
The heat flux in an aluminum pan containing boiling water is 5 × 10^5 W/m2. The temperature of the surface of the pan in contact with boiling water is 119 °C. a) Determine the temperature gradient in the pan on this surface. b) Determine an equation for calculating the temperature of the surface that is not in contact with water as a function of the thickness of the pan. c) What will be the temperature on the surface that is not in contact with water if the thickness of the pan is 1.2 mm? What if it's 4.0 mm? d) Evaluating the results obtained in questions "a", "b" and "c", how does the thickness of the pan influence the temperature gradient?
On a sunny day when the outside temperature is 34.0°C, a car parked in the sun is receiving 812 watts/m2 of incoming solar radiation (Insolation). Because the car radiates heat off of a greater surface area, the car in-turn radiates off heat at a rate of 169 watts/m². If the car is considered a perfect absorber and emitter of radiative energy, what will the equilibrium temperature inside the car be? °C
