Why is a person able to remove a piece of dry aluminum foil from a hot oven with bare fingers, whereas a burn results if there is moisture on the foil?
Review. To measure how far below the ocean surface a bird dives to catch a fish, a scientist uses a method originated by Lord Kelvin. He dusts the interiors of plastic tubes with powdered sugar and then seals one end of each tube. He captures the bird at nighttime in its nest and attaches a tube to its back. He then catches the same bird the next night and removes the tube. In one trial, using a tube 6.50 cm long, water washes away the sugar over a distance of 2.70cm from the open end of the tube. Find the greatest depth to which the bird dived, assuming the air in the tube stayed at constant temperature.

A cylinder with a piston contains a sample of a thin gas. The kind of gas and the sample size can be changed. The cylinder can be placed in different constant-temperature baths, and the piston can be held in different positions. Rank the following cases according to the pressure of the gas from the highest to the lowest, displaying any cases of equality, (a) A 0.002-mol sample of oxygen is held at .300 K in a 100-cm3 container. (b) A 0.002-mol sample of oxygen is held at 600 K in a 200-cm3 container, (c) A 0.002-mol sample of oxygen is held at 600 K in a 300-cm3 container, (d) A 0.004-mol sample of helium is held at .300 K in a 200-cm3 container, (e) A 0.004-mol sample of helium is held at 250 K in a 200-cm3 container.
A 100-g piece of copper, initially at 95.0C, is dropped into 200 g of water contained in a 280-g aluminum can; the water and can are initially at 15.0C. What is the final temperature of the system? (Specific heats of copper and aluminum are 0.092 and 0.215 cal/g C, respectively.) (a) 16C (b) 18C (c) 24C (d) 26C (e) none of those answers
If you place 0C ice into 0C water in an insulated container, what will happen? Will some ice melt, will more water freeze, or will neither take place?
In 1801, Humphry Davy rubbed together pieces of ice inside an icehouse. He made sure that nothing in the environment was at a higher temperature than the rubbed pieces. He observed the production of drops of liquid water. Make a table listing this and other experiments or processes to illustrate each of the following situations, (a) A system can absorb energy by heat, increase in internal energy, and increase in temperature, (b) A system can absorb energy by heat and increase in internal energy without an increase in temperature, (c) A system can absorb energy by heat without increasing in temperature or in internal energy, (d) A system can increase in internal energy and in temperature without absorbing energy by heat, (e) A system can increase in internal energy without absorbing energy by heat or increasing in temperature.
