Problem 10: You read in a popular diet blog that the author claims you can lose up to half a pound of body fat per week if, instead of drinking 2.4 (i.e., 2.4 kilograms) of water every day, you can eat the same amount of water in the form of ice. The reasoning is that your body must first melt the ice en bring the ice water up to the body temperature of 37°C, which is a process that requires a significant amount of energy at the expense of "burned" fat. Thankfully, you just finished discussing heat and phase changes in your physics class, so you can calculate exactly how much energy is expended. pecific heat and latent heat of fusion for water are 4.186 x 10³ J/(kg-°C) and 3.34×105 J/kg, respectively.

In your kitchen, you fill a clear glass bottle half full of 25° C water and leave the lid off. You then put the bottle outside in the hot summer sun for 30 minutes. After that time, you notice that the temperature of the water has increased to 38° C. There are TWO processes that have occurred that have contributed to the temperature rise of the water in the bottle. Identify both processes and explain how the water's temperature has been raised by these processes.
Jessica is walking down the NYC while eating a hot dog. Her walking is making her lose calories. Her eating the hot dog is making her gain calories. The rate as which she is losing calories per minute is defined as f(t)=t^2+5. The rate at which she is gaining calories per minute is defined as g(t) =10t+50. Before her walk, she had already eaten an entire pretzel which contained 300 calories. a.) From the 0th minute to the 8th minute, approximate how many calories Jessiva has lost using LRS approximation of 4 subintervals. b.) What is the actual number of calories Jessica has lost on her 8 minute walk? c.) What is the exact number of calories Jessica has gained, eating her hotdog for 8 minutes? d.) What is the average rate of calorie loss during her walk? (Please use the average value formula) e.) At what time will Jessica have a net gain/loss of calories at 0? f.)

You read in a popular diet blog that the author claims you can lose up to half a pound of body fat per week if, instead of drinking 1.9 liters (i.e., 1.9 kilograms) of water every day, you can eat the same amount of water in the form of ice. The reasoning is that your body must first melt the ice and then bring the ice water up to the body temperature of 37°C, which is a process that requires a significant amount of energy at the expense of “burned” body fat. Thankfully, you just finished discussing heat and phase changes in your physics class, so you can calculate exactly how much energy is expended. The specific heat and latent heat of fusion for water are 4.186 × 103 J/(kg⋅°C) and 3.34×105 J/kg, respectively a) How many kilocalories do you expend when you eat 1.9 kg of ice at 0°C? Note that 1 kcal = 4186 J. b) Assuming the metabolism of one pound of body fat produces 3500 kcal of energy, how many pounds of body fat could you lose in a week just by eating 1.9 kilograms of ice every…
0.52 mol of argon gas is admitted to an evacuated 3.00 liter (3.00 × 10-3 m3) container at 20.0°C. The gas then undergoes an isobaric process to a temperature of 260°C. What is the final volume of the gas, in liters? Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.

When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your basal metabolic rate (BMR) ends up as internal energy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. The evaporation of perspiration is the primary mechanism for eliminating this energy. Determine the amount of water you lose to evaporation when running for 58 minutes at a rate that uses 400 kcal/h above your BMR. (That amount is often considered to be the "maximum fat-burning" energy output. The latent heat of vaporization of water at room temperature is 2.5 106 J/kg.) A) _________ kgB)The metabolism of 1 gram of fat generates approximately 8.63 kcal of energy and produces approximately 1 gram of water. (The hydrogen atoms in the fat molecule are transferred to oxygen to form water.) What fraction of your need for water will be provided by fat metabolism?______________ %
A certain amount of gas at 25.0°C and at a pressure of 0.650 atm is contained in a glass vessel. Suppose that the vessel can withstand a pressure of 2.00 atm. How high can you raise the temperature of the gas without bursting the vessel? In other words, at what temperature will the glass vessel shatter, in degrees Celsius.
A hot air balloon uses the principle of buoyancy to create lift. By making the air inside the balloon less dense then the surrounding air, the balloon is able to lift objects many times its own weight. A large hot air balloon has a maximum balloon volume of 2090 m3. a. If the air temperature in the balloon is 54 °C, how much additional mass, in kilograms, can the balloon lift? Assume the molar mass of air is 28.97 g/mol, the air density is 1.20 kg/m3, and the air pressure is 1 atm.
