A student drops two metallic objects into a 120-g steel container holding 150 g of water at 25°C. One object is a 194-g cube of copper that is initially at 83°C, and the other is a chunk of aluminum that is initially at 5.0°C. To the surprise of the student, the water reaches a final temperature of 25°C, precisely where it started. What is the mass of the aluminum chunk? 241.47 Your response is off by a multiple of ten. kg eBook

A copper rod and an aluminum rod of equal diameter are joined end to end in good thermal contact. The temperature of the free end of the copper rod is held constant at 100°C, and that of the far end of the aluminum rod is held at 0°C. If the copper rod is 0.50 m long, what must be the length of the aluminum rod so that the temperature at the junction is 50°C?

A cylindrical glass flask with a diameter of 8 cm and the height of 20 cm is fully filled with water at 20°C. When the temperature of the water (and consequently the inner surface of the flask) is raised to 100° C, determine the volume of the water that overflows? HINT 1: Don't forget to calculate the initial volume of the water and flask HINT 2: The volume expansion coefficient for ordinary glass and water can be found in the table of Week 4 (Slide #20). HINT 3: Calculate the volume expansions for both water and the flask HINT 4: The difference between the final volume of water and the final volume of the flask is the amount of overflow.

A certain amount of gas at 25.0°C and at a pressure of 0.650 atm is contained in a glass vessel. Suppose that the vessel can withstand a pressure of 2.00 atm. How high can you raise the temperature of the gas without bursting the vessel? In other words, at what temperature will the glass vessel shatter, in degrees Celsius.
Suppose you have two meter sticks, one made of steel and one made of invar (an alloy of iron and nickel), which are the same length (1.00 m) at 0°C. The coefficients of volume expansion for steel and invar are 3.6 × 10-5 /°C and 2.7 × 10-6 /°C respectively. apparently, you need to use the volume expansion formula below & have B=3a. have no idea how to turn the length into a volume for this problem. have no idea what value alpha is...
