To treat a burn on his hand, a person decides to place an ice cube on the burned skin. The mass of the ice cube is 16.8 g, and its initial temperature is -10.7 °C. The water resulting from the melted ice reaches the temperature of his skin, 29.4 °C. How much heat is absorbed by the ice cube and resulting water? Assume that all of the water remains in the hand. Constants for water can be found in this table.

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.

2.12 A mass of 5 kg of water is contained in a piston-cylinder device at 125 kPa. Initially, 2 kg of the water is in the liquid phàse and the rest is in the vapor phase. Heat is now transferred to the water, and the piston, which is resting on a set of stops, starts moving when the pressure inside reaches 300 kPa. Heat transfer continues until the total volume increases by 20%. a) Determine the initial and final temperatures. b) Calculate the mass of liquid water when the piston first starts moving. c) Calculate the work done during this process. d) Show the process on a P-V diagram
