Question
8. You pour equal masses of liquid A and liquid B into a coffee - cup calorimeter. Liquid A starts at 100 °C, while liquid B starts at 50 °C. The final temperature inside the calorimeter is 80 °C. Assuming the two liquids simply mix rather than reacting, how are the two specific heats related (i.e., are they equal, or is one larger than the other - and if one is larger, which?). Explain your answer in a sentence or two.

- 2. As an example of microscopic thermodynamic analysis based on thermal-energy microstates, the figure to the right illustrates two systems (A and B), each containing two indistinguishable particles and possible energy levels from 1 to 8, with a particle residing in a given energy level having the same amount of energy as the level (e.g., a particle in energy-level 4 has 4 units of energy). The combined systems have a fixed total of 12 units of energy. Assuming that energy can be exchanged between the two systems, calculate the difference in entropy between condition #1 where the left-hand side has 8 units of energy and the right-hand side has 4 units of energy compared to condition #2 when the two sides reach their equilibrium condition. Note that the figure just shows one example of a configuration for condition #1. 8. 8 7 7 5 4 4 3 2 2 1 1arrow_forwardQ.13 What happens if you add heat to water that is at the temperature of 100°C?

- 20:36 M Q4. A substance takes in energy of Q 1 point to increase its temperature by AT. Which formula can calculate the heat capacity (C) of the substance? * C-Q ΔΤ C = Q/AT C- ΔΤ/Q Q5. The more massive a substance, 1 point the the heat capacity. * smaller same larger Q6. The specific heat capacity of a 1 point substance is defined as: * the amount of energy required for substance of 1 kg to increase the temperature by 1 °C. the amount of energy for a substance required to increase the temperature by 1 °C. the volume of substance to store 1 °C of heat.

The latent heat of fusion of water is 80 cal/g.a.How much heat is required to raisethe ice to 0°C andcompletely melt the ice?b. How much additional heat is required to heat the water(obtained by melting the ice) to 25°C?C.What is the total heat that must be added to convert the80 g of ice at-20°C to water at +25°C?d. Can we find this total heat simply by computing howmuch heat is required to melt the ice and adding theamount of heat required to raise the temperature of 80 gof water by 45°C?

Why do these windows reduce heat loss to a much greater extent than occurs if the double glazing is replaced by a thicker glass instead? b. Why does the insulating effect of the double glazing decrease if the two glass panes are too far apart? Explain.arrow_forward
