One mole of water vapor at 346 K cools
to 280 K. The heat given off by the cooling
water vapor is absorbed by 10 mol of an ideal
gas, and this heat absorption causes the gas to
expand at a constant temperature of 273 K.
If the final volume of the ideal gas is 24 L,
determine its initial volume. The specific heat
of water is 4186 J/kg °C and the latent heat
of vaporization is 2.26 x 106 J/kg.
Answer in units of 1.
It’s possible to boil water by adding hot rocks to it, a technique that has been used in many societies over time. If you heat a rock in the fire, you can easily get it to a temperature of 500°C. If you use granite or other similar stones, the specific heat is about 800 J/kg ⋅ K. If 5.0 kg of water at 10°C is in a leak-proof vessel, what minimum number of 1.0 kg stones must be added to bring the water to a boil?
A jet of steam at 100°C is applied to a 2.00 kg block of ice at 0°C. How many grams of steam would be
required to completely melt the ice assuming a complete transfer of thermal energy? nA
