The amount of heat needed to reduce the temperature of 1.5 kg of snow
from -15 degrees Celsius to -5 degrees Celsius is equal to (note that the
specific heat of snow is 2060 joules/kg.degree). The unit must be written
with the answer.
Some amount of heat energy is removed from a 9cm X 26cm X 46cm block of ice to cool from 0ºC to -26ºC. (Hint: to find mass, use the relation between, density, mass and volume)
Calculate the following:
a) The mas of ice cube in grams
(density of ice = 920 kg/m3).
b) The temperature difference in kelvin
b) The energy removed from ice in calories
. (specific heat of ice = 2093 J/kgºC)
1.1. Compute the density (in units of m) of an ideal gas under the following
conditions:
(a) At 0 °C and 760 Torr pressure (1 Torr=1 mmHg). This is called the
Loschmidt number.
(b) In a vacuum of 103 Torr at room temperature (20 °C). This number is a
useful one for the experimentalist to know by heart (10 3 Torr 1 µ).

- An interesting problem came up in my research a few weeks ago, and today you will help me solve it! When discussing the change of temperature in a body, one uses the equation: Where Q is the heat (energy) transferred, c is the specific heat of the substance, m is the mass of the substance, and is the change of temperature due to the energy transfer. When I bombard a material with an ion beam, I transfer heat to it through the means of scattering. In my research, I would like to bombard liquid water with an ion beam! Suppose I have 3.45 * 10-13 grams of liquid water, with a specific heat of 4.184 J/gK, and I bombard it with an ion beam with an energy of 10 MeV or 1.602 * 10-12 J. Suppose the water absorbs all the energy of the ion beam, what would be the temperature increase of the sample for each ion bombarded?arrow_forwardWhat is the amount of heat needed to heat 5 liters of water from 5°C to 40°C, knowing that the specific heat of water is 4180 joules per kg per degree.
