On a certain dry sunny day, a swimming pool's temperature would rise by 13 C° if not for evaporation. What fraction of the water must evaporate to carry away precisely enough energy to keep the temperature constant? Express your answer in decimal form, to at least two digits after the decimal point.

An unknown hot metal at 107.03°C with a mass of 48.67g was mixed with 37.99g of water at an initial temperature of 13.65°C. A final temperature (for both water and metal) of 26.53°C was reached. In units of J/(g°C), what is the specific heat of the unknown metal? Note: In the space below, please enter you numerical answer. Do not enter any units. If you enter units, your answer will be marked as incorrect.
A 158 cm long aluminum rod (thermal conductivity = 205 W/m-K) has a cross-section area of 1 cm2. If one end is kept in a steam bath and the other end in an ice-water mixture, what is the quantity of heat (in Joules) conducted by the rod in 4 days? Input only the numerical value of the answer.
When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure P and volume V are related by the equation PV4 =C where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 600 cubic centimeters and the pressure is 79 kPa and is decreasing at a rate of 14 kPa/minute. At what rate in cubic centimeters per minute is the volume increasing at this instant? cm min (Pa stands for Pascal -- it is equivalent to one Newton/(meter squared); kPa is a kiloPascal or 1000 Pascals.

Some amount of heat energy is removed from a 5cm X 12cm X 37cm block of ice to cool from 0°C to -24°C. (Hint: to find mass, use the relation between, density, mass and volume) ((a*2)+ (b*1)+(c*2) = 5marks) 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 .

An ice cube of mass 0.1 kg at 0°C is placed in an isolated container which is at 227°C. The specific heat S of the container varies with temperature T according to the empirical relation S = A + BT, where A = 100 cal/kg-K and B = 2 x 102 cal/kg-K². If the final temperature of the container is 27°C, determine the mass of the container. (Latent heat of fusion for water = 8 x 10 cal/kg, specific heat of water = 10³ cal/kg-K).
