2.5 liters of water at 60 degree Celsius is placed in a freezer. What amount of mass in kilograms has not yet transformed into solid ice if only 80 percent of the total Heat was removed?
A container holds 75.2 liters of Oxygen at 271.4K and a pressure of 3.87 atmospheres. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of this gas to 296.4K, holding the volume constant? Give your answer in kJ. Treat the gas as an ideal gas. Note: It is understood that your answer is in units of kilo-Joules, however do not explicitly include units in your answer. Enter only a number. If you do enter a unit ("kJ" in this case), you answer will be counted wrong.
