Chapter 3, Problem 106E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The amount of ice required to cool a drink is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree is known as heat capacity.

The relation used to convert Fahrenheit $\left({}^{\text{°}}\text{F}\right)$ into Celsius $\left({}^{\text{°}}\text{C}\right)$ is:

${}^{\text{°}}\text{C}=\frac{\left({}^{\text{°}}\text{F}-32\right)}{1.8}$

The relation between heat $\left(q\right)$, mass $\left(m\right)$, change in temperature $\left(\Delta T\right)$ and heat capacity $\left(C\right)$ is:

$q=m\text{. C }\text{. }\Delta T$
