Three different materials of identical mass are placed one at a time in a special freezer that can extract energy from a material at a certain constant rate. During the cooling process, each material begins in the liquid state and ends in the solid state; Fig. 18-28 shows the temperature T versus time t. (a) For material 1, is the specific heat for the liquid state greater than or less than that for the solid state? Rank the materials according to (b) freezing- point temperature, (c) specific heat in the liquid state, (d) specific heat in the solid state, and (e) heat of fusion, all greatest first.

- An ideal gas initially at 300 K undergoes an isobaric expansion at 2.50 kPa. If the volume increases from 1.00 m3 to 3.00 m3 and 12.5 kJ is transferred to the gas by heat, what are (a) the change in its internal energy and (b) its final temperature?arrow_forwardFor a temperature increase of 10 at constant volume, what is the heat absorbed by (a) 3.0 mol of a dilute monatomic gas; (b) 0.50 mol of a dilute diatomic gas; and (c) 15 mol of a dilute polyatomic gas?arrow_forwardOne of a dilute diatomic gas occupying a volume of 10.00 L expands against a constant pressure of 2.000 atm when it is slowly heated. If the temperature of the gas rises by 10.00 K and 400.0 J of heat are added in the process, what is its final volume?arrow_forward
- In 1993, the U.S. government instituted a requirement that all room air conditioners sold in the United States must have an energy efficiency ratio (EER) of 10 or higher. The EER is defined as the ratio of the cooling capacity of the air conditioner, measured in British thermal units per hour, or Btu/h, to its electrical power requirement in watts. (a) Convert the EER of 10.0 to dimensionless form, using the conversion 1 Btu = 1 055 J. (b) What is the appropriate name for this dimensionless quantity? (c) In the 1970s, it was common to find room air conditioners with EERs of 5 or lower. State how the operating costs compare for 10 000-Btu/h air conditioners with EERs of 5.00 and 10.0. Assume each air conditioner operates for 1 500 h during the summer in a city where electricity costs 17.0 per kWh.arrow_forwardAn aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)arrow_forwardTortilla chips are manufactured by submergingbaked and partially cooled masa at 41 °C into corn oil at 182 °C.(a) If the specific heat of masa is 1850 J>1kg # K2, how much thermalenergy is required to warm 0.454 kg of masa to the temperature ofthe oil? (b) If the production line makes 227 kg of chips every hour,at what rate (in kW) must thermal energy be supplied to the cornoil, assuming that all of the energy goes into warming the masa?arrow_forward
- You wish to chill 12 cans of soda at 25.0 °C down to 5.0 °C beforeserving them to guests. Each can has a mass of 0.354 kg, and thespecific heat of soda is the same as that of water. (a) How muchthermal energy must be removed in order to chill all 12 cans?(b) If the chilling process requires 4.0 h, what is the average rate(in W) at which thermal energy is removed from the soda?arrow_forwardSweating is one of the main mechanisms with which the body dissipates heat. Sweat evaporates with a latent heat of 2 430 kJ/kg at body temperature, and the body can produce as much as 1.5 kg of sweat per hour. If sweating were the only heat dissipation mechanism, what would be the maximum sustainable metabolic rate, in watts, if 80% of the energy used by the body goes into waste heat?arrow_forwardBy jogging, a girl is converting food energy into internal energy at the rate of 399 kcal/h above her basal metabolic rate (BMR). Some of this additional internal energy immediately goes into work done at a rate of 56.1 W. The rest of this additional energy would go into raising her temperature, but it is instead eliminated by evaporation of perspiration to keep her body temperature constant. Assume that the heat of evaporation of water at body temperature is equal to its heat of vaporization at 100°C. (a) Determine the hourly rate (in kg/h) at which water must evaporate from her skin. kg/h (b) When fat is metabolized, hydrogen atoms in fat molecules are transferred to oxygen to form water. Assume that the metabolism of 1.00 g of fat generates 9.00 kcal of energy and produces 1.00 g of water. What percent of the water needed is generated by burning fat?arrow_forward
- A certain amount of heat is transferred to2 kg of aluminum, and the same amount of heat is transferred to 1 kg of ice. Referring to Table 16-2, (a) is the increase in temperature of the aluminum greater than, less than, or equal to theincrease in temperature of the ice? (b) Choose the best explanationfrom among the following:I. Twice the specific heat of aluminum is less than the specificheat of ice, and hence the aluminum has the greater temperature change.II. The aluminum has the smaller temperature change since itsmass is less than that of the ice.III. The same heat will cause the same change in temperaturearrow_forwardplease answerarrow_forward(a) 0.17 kg of ice cubes are dropped into 0.32 kg of lemonade (mostly water) in a container, and placed in a room.
