Why is it important for the thermometer to be fully immersed in the water but does not touch the bottom of the inner vessel in doing the experiment for latent heat of fusion of ice? * The thermometer will be damaged if it will touch the inner vessel of the calorimeter. The thermometer in contact with the bottom of the vessel will cause the final temperature to be too warm and gives an experimental value of the latent heat of fusion that is too low To have an equilibrium temperature of too high or too low.

4) A ground source heat pump heats a building by extracting heat from the ground and pumping it into the building. Define: Qc = heat extracted from the ground, Qn= heat pumped into the building, W = electric energy used by the heat pump, Tc= temperature of the ground, T = temperature of building (Qc, Qn, and W are positive by definition). Assume Tr > Tc. a) Draw a diagram showing energy flow in and out of the heat pump. b) Write a general expression for the change AS in the entropy of the "universe", that is the heat pump plus the cold and hot reservoirs, in terms of the quantities defined above. Now assume ideal (reversible) operation, and take Te= 10 °C and Tp= 20 °C. What is the coefficient of performance (ČOP) of the heat pump? By what factor would this change if we had Tc = 0 °C instead?
