When someone has a fever, his or her body temperature might increase by as much as 2°C. Suppose this person has a mass of 48 kg.
(a) About how much energy is required to raise a person’s temperature this much?
The energy required to raise the person’s temperature is ___J
(b) What is this energy in food calories? (1 food calorie ≡ 1 Cal ≡ 1000 calories = 1 kcal.)
The energy in food calories is ___cal
A student is trying to find the energy it takes to melt an ice cube. They measure exactly 95.1 mL of water and pour it into a styrofoam cup. They use a thermometer to find the initial temperature is 23.8 °C, and then drop an ice cube in the water, covering it and stirring until it is completely melted. After it has melted, the water cools to a final temperature of 16.5 °C. How much energy (in calories) did it take to melt this ice cube?
Note: The density of water is 1.0 g/mL and the specific heat of water is 1.0 cal/(g·°C)
Suppose 8.50 ✕ 105 J of energy are transferred to 1.79 kg of ice at 0°C. The latent heat of fusion and specific heat of water are Lf = 3.33 ✕ 105 J/kg and
