Why is it important for the thermometer to be fully immersed in the water but does not touch the bottom of the inner vessel in doing the experiment for latent heat of fusion of ice? * The thermometer will be damaged if it will touch the inner vessel of the calorimeter. The thermometer in contact with the bottom of the vessel will cause the final temperature to be too warm and gives an experimental value of the latent heat of fusion that is too low To have an equilibrium temperature of too high or too low.

A high—pressure gas cylinder contains 50.13L of toxic gas at a pressure of 1.40107N/m2 and a temperature of 25.0C. Its value leaks after the cylinder is dropped. The cylinder is cooled to dry ice temperature (78.5C) to reduce the leak rate and pressure so that it can be safely repaired. (a) What is the final pressure in the tank, assuming a negligible amount of gas leaks while being cooled and that there is no phase change? (b) What is the final pressure it onetenth of the gas escapes? (c) To what temperature must the tank be cooled to reduce the pressure to 1.00 atm (assuming the gas does not change phase and that there is no leakage during cooling)? (d) Does cooling the tank appear to be a practical solution?
The Sun radiates like a perfect black body with an emissivity of exactly 1. (a) Calculate the surface temperature of the Sun, given that it is a sphere with a 7.00108m radius that radiates 3.801026W into 3-K space. (b) How much power does the Sun radiate per square meter of its surface? (c) How much power in watts per square meter is that value at the distance of Earth, 1.501011m away? (This number is called the solar constant.)
Unreasonable Results (a) Calculate the rate of heat transfer by conduction through a window with an area of 1.00 m2 that is 0.750 cm thick, if its inner surface is at 22.00C and its outer surface is at 35.00C (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which premise or assumption is responsible?
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 2.70 cm 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 1.00MT bomb exploded a few kilometers above the ground deposits 25.0% of its energy into radiant heat. (a) Find the calories per cm2 at a distance of 10.0 km by assuming a uniform distribution over a spherical surface at that radius. (b) If this heat falls on a person’s body, what temperature increase does it cause in the affected tissue, assuming it is absorbed in a layer 1.00cm deep?
(a) A firewalker runs across a bed of hot coals without sustaining burns. Calculate the heat transferred by conduction into the sole of one foot of a firewalker given that the bottom of the foot is a 3.00-mm-thick callus with a conductivity at the low end of the range for wood and its density is 300kg/m3. The area of contact is 25.0cm2, the temperature of the coals is 700C, and the time in contact is 1.00 s. (b) What temperature increase is produced in the 25.0cm3 of tissue affected? (c) What effect do you think this will have on the tissue, keeping in mind that a callus is made of dead cells?
