Concept explainers
You are working in your kitchen preparing lunch for your family. You have decided to make egg salad sandwiches and are boiling six eggs, each of mass 55.5 g, in 0.750 L of water at 100°C. You wish to take all the eggs out of the boiling water and immediately place them in 23.0°C water to cool them down to a comfortable temperature to hold them and peel them. You decide that you wish the mixture of the water and the eggs to reach an equilibrium temperature of 40.0°C. Explaining this to a family member, she challenges you to determine exactly how much water at 23.0°C you need to achieve your desired equilibrium temperature. Take the average specific heat of an egg over the expected temperature range to be 3.27 × 103 J/kg · °C.

- If the average kinetic energy of the molecules in an ideal gas initially at 20C doubles, what is the final temperature of the gas? (5.6) (a) 10C (b) 40C (c) 313C (d) 586Carrow_forwardA spherical shell has inner radius 3.00 cm and outer radius 7.00 cm. It is made of material with thermal conductivity k = 0.800 W/m C. The interior is maintained at temperature 5C and the exterior at 40C. After an interval of time, the shell reaches a steady state with the temperature at each point within it remaining constant in time. (a) Explain why the rate of energy transfer P must be the same through each spherical surface, of radius r, within the shell and must satisfy dTdr=P4kr2 (b) Next, prove that 5dT=P4k0.030.07r2dr where T is in degrees Celsius and r is in meters. (c) Find the rate of energy transfer through the shell. (d) Prove that 5TdT=1.840.03rr2dr where T is in degrees Celsius and r is in meters. (e) Find the temperature within the shell as a function of radius. (f) Find the temperature at r = 5.00 cm, halfway through the shell.arrow_forwardThe rectangular plate shown in Figure P16.60 has an area Ai equal to w. If the temperature increases by T, each dimension increases according to Equation 16.4, where is the average coefficient of linear expansion. (a) Show that the increase in area is A = 2Ai T. (b) What approximation does this expression assume?arrow_forward
- A cylinder with a piston holds 0.50 m3 of oxygen at an absolute pressure of 4.0 atm. The piston is pulled outward, increasing the volume of the gas until the pressure drops to 1.0 atm. If the temperature stays constant, what new volume does the gas occupy? (a) 1.0 m3 (b) 1.5 m3 (c) 2.0 m3 (d) 0.12 m3 (e) 2.5 m3arrow_forwardYou are very particular about the proper temperature needed to make tea. The proper temperature for your favorite tea is 183.4°F. When you are at home in Kentucky (near sea level), this is no problem. You have long ago figured out how much ice to add to your boiling water in order to achieve the appropriate temperature. During your vacation to Denver, however, this is a huge problem. When you tried to make your tea, it came out tasting horrible (to a tea snob). Your insulated teapot holds 0.9 L of boiling water before you add any ice. How much ice should you add to make the perfect pot of tea?arrow_forwardWhen people exercise, they report feeling exhaustion when their body temperature rises to 39.7°C. A 68 kg man is running at 15 km/h on a hot, muggy day—so hot and muggy that he can’t lose any heat to the environment. His body temperature starts at 37.0°C. How long can he run before he feels exhausted?arrow_forward
- You read in a popular diet blog that the author claims you can lose up to half a pound of body fat per week if, instead of drinking 1.9 liters (i.e., 1.9 kilograms) of water every day, you can eat the same amount of water in the form of ice. The reasoning is that your body must first melt the ice and then bring the ice water up to the body temperature of 37°C, which is a process that requires a significant amount of energy at the expense of “burned” body fat. Thankfully, you just finished discussing heat and phase changes in your physics class, so you can calculate exactly how much energy is expended. The specific heat and latent heat of fusion for water are 4.186 × 103 J/(kg⋅°C) and 3.34×105 J/kg, respectively a) How many kilocalories do you expend when you eat 1.9 kg of ice at 0°C? Note that 1 kcal = 4186 J. b) Assuming the metabolism of one pound of body fat produces 3500 kcal of energy, how many pounds of body fat could you lose in a week just by eating 1.9 kilograms of ice every…arrow_forwardYou drop an ice cube into an insulated bottle full of water and wait for the ice cube to completely melt. The ice cube initially has a mass of 70.0 g and a temperature of 0°C. The water (before the ice cube is added) has a mass of 880 g and an initial temperature of 20.0°C. What is the final temperature (in °C) of the mixture? (Assume no energy is lost to the walls of the bottle, or to the environment.) ?°Carrow_forwardYou have 0.20 kg of ice at -20°C in a container. How much water at 20°C must you add to the ice to have a final temperature of 15°C? Ignore heat exchanged with the environment.arrow_forward
- Problem 15: You are on your way to a party when the host asks you to pick up a bag of ice. At the grocery store you grab a 6-kg bag that was kept at a temperature of -4.6°C. When you get to the party, you find a large cooler to put the ice in. There is already 31 L (i.e., 31 kg) of water in the cooler at a temperature of 19°C. You toss the ice into the water and close the lid. The specific heat and latent heat of fusion for water are 4186 J/(kg⋅°C) and 3.34 × 105J/kg, respectively. The specific heat of ice near its freezing point is 2000 J/(kg⋅°C). Find the temperature, in degrees Celsius, of the water in the cooler after the party. Assume the ice maintains its temperature on the way to the party and the cooler is well insulated.arrow_forwardOn a hot summer day, you decide to make some iced tea. First, you brew 1.50 L of hot tea and leave it to steep until it has reached a temperature of T_Tea = 75.0 ∘C. You then add 0.975 kg of ice taken from the freezer at a temperature of Tice = 0 ∘C. By the time the mix reaches equilibrium, all of the ice has melted. What is the final temperature Tf of the mixture? For the purposes of this problem, assume that the tea has the same thermodynamic properties as plain water. The specific heat of water is c = 4190 J/kg⋅∘C .The heat of fusion of ice is Lf = 3.33×105 J/kg .The density of the tea is ρtea = 1.00 kg/L .arrow_forwardHow many grams of coffee must evaporate from 350 g of coffee in a 100-g glass cup to cool the coffee from 95.0°C to 45.0°C? You may assume the coffee has the same thermal properties as water and that the average heat of vaporization is 2340 kJ/kg (560 cal/g).arrow_forward
