- We have 39.5 g of a particular substance. Its specific heat in solid form is 0.8 J/(g K) and its specific heat in liquid form is 1.4 J/(g K); it's latent heat of melting is 170 J/g. Its initial temperature is 196 and its melting point is 223. We wish to raise its temperature to 297 (where it is a liquid). How much heat is required?arrow_forwardWhat is the rate of heat transfer in J/s through the body's skin and the fat layer just beneath its surface? Treat the skin and fat as a single layer that is 1.20 cm thick. Assume the temperature of the inner surface of the layer corresponds to internal body temperature, or 36.7 °C, and the temperature of the outer surface of the layer corresponds to skin temperature, or 34.0 °C. Take the total surface area of the layer to be 1.50 m² and use a value of 0.413 W/(m-C°) for the average thermal conductivity of the layer.

Both the cup and the water have a temperature of 10.°C. If a 0.76-kg piece of copper at 53.°C is added to the cup, what is the final equilibrium temperature in °C? You may assume that the cup, water, and copper are well insulated from anything else.arrow_forwardYou happen to come across a piece of metal that has a density of p 8.12 g/cm3 when the temperature is To = 42.5 °C. If the metal is cooled to a temperature of T1 0.00 °C, does the density change? Yes, the density will decrease since the volume changes. Yes, since the metal contracts and the mass is constant, the density will increase. No, because as the volume changes so does the mass. No, density does not depend on temperature. Calculate the density of the piece of metal at this temperature, P1. The coefficient of volume expansion for this piece of metal is B = 7.62 x 10-5 1/°C. -0.0263 Pi = g/cm3 Incorrectarrow_forward
