Chapter 21, Problem 3PQ
You extend an impromptu invitation to a friend for dinner. The only food you have is a couple of frozen steaks. You wish to defrost the steaks before grilling them. You defrost one by using your microwave oven, and youa defrost the other by placing it in a bowl of very warm water. In each case, decide whether energy is transferred by heat or by work. Explain your answers.

1) Determine the change in chemical energy each second required to produce this increase in electric potential energy.
2) If there are roughly 7×10^11 of these cells in the body, how much chemical energy is used in pumping sodium ions each second?
3) Estimate the fraction of a person's metabolic rate used to pump these ions. Assume the metabolic rate to be 100 W.
An electric hot plate raises its own internal energy and the internal energy of a cup of water by 15000 J, and there is at the same time
2900 J transferred to the cooler air (that is, Q = -2900 J). How much energy was transferred to the hot plate in the form of

sometimes the hot water produced by a solar water heater is not warm enough to mee the needs of the occupants of a building. A traditional water heater inside the building supplies additional thermal energy to the solar warmed water. How can this method still reduce the overalll amount of natural gas or electrical energy a building uses?
