If the mass of substance (1 kg), initial temperature (125˚C), the final temperature (175˚C) and the total volume of a closed container (1 m3) remains constant in two experiments, but one experiment is done with water ( ) and the other is done with nitrogen ( ). What is the difference in the change in pressure between water and nitrogen?
Using the simplified energy balance in Equation 1, suppose there is heat transfer of 40.00 J to a system, while the system does 10.00 J of work. Later, there is heat transfer of 25.00 J out of the system while 4.00 J of work is done on the system. What is the net change in internal energy of the system?
You pour a litre (1 kg) of 25.0˚C water into a 0.500 kg aluminium pan off the stove, but has previously been heated so it starts with a temperature of 120˚C. What is the temperature when the water and the pan reach thermal equilibrium (i.e., what is the temperature of both objects when they reach the same temperature)? Assume that the pan is placed on an insulated pad and a negligible amount of water boils off.
