Homework 6.

1-(a) Calculate the one temperature at which Fahrenheit and Celsius

thermometers would display the same number, (b) do the same for a Fahrenheit
and kelvin thermometer. Hint: We can start by stating Tf=Tc=T, and then we
know TF = 9/5 TC + 32°, but we can just refer to both Tf and Tc as T (because
we’ve stated they are equal) and then solve for T

2- You have 300 g of coffee at 55°C. How much (mass) 10°C coffee would you
need to add to bring your drink to a more reasonable temperature of 49°C.
Coffee has the same specific heat as water, cwater = 4186 J/(kg °C)
3- A laboratory technician drops a 0.085 kg sample of some unknown solid, at a
temperature of 100.0°C, into a calorimeter. The calorimeter can is initially at
19°C and is constructed out of 0.15 kg of copper and contains 0.200 kg of
water. The final temperature of the calorimeter can and its contents (water
and sample) is 26.1 °C. What is the specific heat of the sample?
Specific heat of water is cwater = 4186 J/(kg °C), and of copper ccopper= 385 J/(kg °C),

Hint: This seems significantly harder than the previous question, with the
addition of a third substance, but it’s not THAT different. Namely, the first step
is to realize that since the copper and water are already at equilibrium with
each other, the heat transfer is between the unknown substance and “copper
+water”. So Qh=-Qc becomes Qunknown= -(Qcopper + Qwater), all variables are given
except the specific heat of “unknown” so plug in the values and solve for the
specific heat.
4- How much heat is required to convert 5.0 kg of ice from a temperature of
-10 0C to water vapor at a temperature of 120 °C? Specific heat of water
vapor/steam is 2030 J/(kg*C). c ice=2090 J/(kg °C), cwater = 4190 J/(kg °C),
and Lf = 333000 J/kg. and Lv=2,260,000 J/kg.
