Answer to Problem 1CQ

Yes, it is possible to have a substance of a fixed temperature in which the heat flows into the system and the example of this process is isothermal expansion.

Explanation of Solution

The formula to calculate the amount of heat is,

Q=ΔU+W

Here,

ΔU is the change in the internal energy of the system.

W is the amount of work done.

At constant temperature the change in the internal energy of the system is zero but when there is isothermal expansion the work is done by the system is positive work. The net work done by the system is having a positive value due to which the total heat have a positive value that is the heat flows into the system. The example of such an instance is the isothermal expansion of the gas.

Conclusion

Therefore, it is possible to have a substance of a fixed temperature in which the heat flows into the system and the example of this process is isothermal expansion.

(b)

To determine

Whether it is possible for heat to flow out of the system if the temperature of the system is fixed and explain the same and specify the example of this process.

Answer to Problem 1CQ

Yes, it is possible to have a substance of a fixed temperature in which the heat flows out of the system and example of this process isothermal compression.

Explanation of Solution

The formula to calculate the amount of heat is,

Q=ΔU+W

At constant temperature the change in the internal energy of the system is zero but when there is isothermal compression the work is done on the system in a negative direction. The net work done by the system is having a negative value due to which the total heat have a negative value that is the heat flows out of the system. The example of such an instance is the isothermal compression of the gas.

Conclusion

Therefore, it is possible to have a substance of a fixed temperature in which the heat flows out of the system and example of this process isothermal compression.

Is their final temperature greater than, less than, or equal to 100 degrees Celsius? A. Since the specific heat of cube A is greater than that of B, more heat is required to raise the temperature of cube A by the same value. Therefore, the final temperature would be lower than 100 degrees Celsius B. Since both cubes have the same mass, they same internal energy in the equilibrium state. Therefore, the final temperature of both cubes would be equal to average value of the initial temperatures, 100 degrees Celsius. C. Since the specific heat of cube A is greater than that of B, less heat transfers from B to A than should transfer from A to B to reach the thermal equilibrium. Therefore, the final temperature would be greater than 100 degrees Celsius. D. We do not have enough information to answer the question.
During a chemistry lab, you take a 0.4 kg sample of ice and put it in a beaker with a thermometer. You then place the beaker with the ice on 0 the temperature of the ice is -18 = a hot plate, and turn on the hot plate. This hot plate adds heat to the ice at a rate of 330 W. At time t °C. Because of the large heat capacity of water and ice, you may assume in this problem that all the heat goes into the sample of ice, and that we can ignore the amount of heat going into the beaker and thermometer. Also assume no heat escapes from the system. Some useful values: ● Specific heat of water: C = Specific heat of ice: Ci = 2100 J/kg K • Latent heat of fusion: L = 334 000 J/kg ● 4200 J/kg K = 1a) At what time does the ice reach a temperature of -3.5°C? answer= units? 1b) At what time has all the ice melted? answer= units? Check your answer Check your answer 1c) After the ice has completely melted, we're left with 0.4 kg of water. Check your answer answer= units? not yet solved not yet solved…
