In an electrically heated home, the temperature of the ground in contact with a concrete basement wall is 11.8 oC. The temperature at the inside surface of the wall is 18.4 oC. The wall is 0.12 m thick and has an area of 7.6 m2. Assume that one kilowatt hour of electrical energy costs $0.10. How many hours are required for one dollar's worth of energy to be conducted through the wall?
Liquid propane is commonly used as a fuel for heating homes, powering vehicles such as forklifts, and filling portable picnic tanks. Consider a propane tank that initially contains 5 L of liquid propane at the environment temperature of 20°C. If a hole develops in the connecting tube of a propane tank and the propane starts to leak out, determine the temperature of propane when the pressure in the tank drops to 1 atm. Also, determine the total amount of heat transfer from the environment to the tank to vaporize the entire propane in the tank.
A 400.0 gg chunk of an unknown metal, which has been in boiling water for several minutes, is quickly dropped into an insulating Styrofoam beaker containing 1.20 kgkg of water at room temperature (20.0∘C∘C). After waiting and gently stirring for 5.00 minutes, you observe that the water's temperature has reached a constant value of 22.0 ∘C∘C.
Assuming that the Styrofoam absorbs a negligibly small amount of heat and that no heat was lost to the surroundings, what is the specific heat of the metal?
