A metal container, which has a mass of 7.2 kg contains 17.2 kg of water. A 3.3-kg piece of the same metal, initially at a temperature of 180.0°C, is dropped into the water. The container and the water initially have a temperature of 16.5ºC and the final temperature of the entire system is 18.5°C. Calculate the specific heat of the metal. Note: Units for specific heat is J/(kg*K). You do not need to enter the units.

An unknown substance has a mass of 0.125 kg and an initial temperature of 90.0°C. The substance is then dropped into a calorimeter made of aluminum containing 0.285 kg of water initially at 21.5°C. The mass of the aluminum container is 0.150 kg, and the temperature of the calorimeter increases to a final equilibrium temperature of 32.0°C. Assuming no thermal energy is transferred to the environment, calculate the specific heat of the unknown substance.

In an electrically heated home, the temperature of the ground in contact with a concrete basement wall is 14.0 °C. The temperature at the inside surface of the wall is 21.4 °C. The wall is 0.12 m thick and has an area of 7.7 m2. Assume that one kilowatt hour of electrical energy costs $0.10. How many hours are required for one dollar's worth of energy to be conducted through the wall? Number Units the tolerance is +/-2%

You wish to cool a 1.95 kg block of brass initially at 80.0°C to a temperature of 41.0°C by placing it in a container of water initially at 20.0°C. Determine the volume (in L) of the liquid needed in order to accomplish this task without boiling. The density and specific heat of water are respectively 1,000 kg/m3 and 4,186 J/(kg · °C), and the specific heat of brass is 380 J/(kg · °C).

A Styrofoam box has a surface area of 0.81 m² and a wall thickness of 2.0 cm. The temperature of the inner surface is 5.0°C, and the outside temperature is 26°C. If it takes 8.5 h for 5.0 kg of ice to melt in the container, determine the thermal conductivity of the Styrofoam. (Assume the ice is at a temperature of 0°C.) W/m · °C

You drop an ice cube into an insulated bottle full of water and wait for the ice cube to completely melt. The ice cube initially has a mass of 70.0 g and a temperature of 0°C. The water (before the ice cube is added) has a mass of 880 g and an initial temperature of 20.0°C. What is the final temperature (in °C) of the mixture? (Assume no energy is lost to the walls of the bottle, or to the environment.)  ?°C

You drop an ice cube into an insulated container full of water and wait for the ice cube to completely melt. The ice cube initially has a mass of 60.0 g and a temperature of 0°C. The water (before the ice cube is added) has a mass of 850 g and an initial temperature of 30.0°C. What is the final temperature (in °C) of the mixture? (Assume no energy is lost to the walls of the container, or to the environment.)

In an experiment measuring the latent heat of fusion of water, the following procedure was followed. Ice cube of mass 35.0 g at an initial temperature of 0.0°C is dropped into 225.0 g of 65.0°C water in an aluminum container. The mass of the aluminum container is 44 .0 g and the final equilibrium temperature is 46.0℃. Determine whether any heat is lost or gained in this experiment to the environment. If yes, how much? (For water: c = 1.00 cal/g×°C and Lf = 77.9 cal/g; for Al: c = 0.215 cal/g×°C

An unknown substance has a mass of 0.125 kg and an initial temperature of 94.5°C. The substance is then dropped into a calorimeter made of aluminum containing 0.285 kg of water initially at 25.5°C. The mass of the aluminum container is 0.150 kg, and the temperature of the calorimeter increases to a final equilibrium.temperature of 32.0°C.
