- Thermodynamics: Please show me how to solve the following practice problems in step by step solution (Thank you so much!)arrow_forwardK). average NUSseit Number. 2. A slab of iron with temperature, T1=48 deg C is used to heat a flat glass plate that has an initial temperature of Tg1=18 deg C. Assuming no heat is lost to the environment, and the masses are m;=0.49 kg for the slab and mg=310g for the plate, what is the amount of heat transferred when the two have reached equal temperature? Assume C;=0.11 kcal/kg-deg C for iron and cg=0.20 kcal/kg-deg C for glass.arrow_forwardA metal spoon and a wooden spoon are left overnight in a room. Why do we feel colder when we touch the metal spoon than when we touch the wooden one? a. Since metals usually have a lower heat capacity than non-metals, the metal spoon loose more heat to the room and consequently has a lower temperature b. Metals release heat faster than non-metals because of their higher thermal conductivity c. This is merely psychological since we are conditioned to think of metals as “cold” d. Metals absorb heat faster than non-metals because of their higher thermal conductivityarrow_forward
