- B: A sample of hydrogen gas was found to have pressure of 125 kPa when the temperature was 23°C. What can its pressure be expected to be when the temperature is 11°C.arrow_forwardImagine you drop three identical (same mass, same material, same shape), room temperature cubes into a pot of boiling water. After five minutes, you dump them out on a table and measure their temperatures. a. Is there any situation in which one cube could have a much higher temperature than the other two? b. Is there any situation in which all three cubes could have the same temperature as one another? c. Is there any situation in which at least one cube could have a temperature less than room temperature? (I.e., the cube got colder in the water.)arrow_forwardResearchers are conducting a study to quantity the thermal conductivity of a composite material. A square box is made from 1,841 cm2 sheets of the composite insulating material that is 2 cm thick. A 138 W heater is placed inside the box. Sensors attached to the box show that the interior and exterior surfaces of one face have reached the constant temperatures of 89°C and 36°C. What is the thermal conductivity in W/m-K?arrow_forward

To mold the headpiece of this suit, he need to heat 1 kg of the metal into its forging temperature. Its forging temperature must be at least 70% of its melting point in Kelvin (MPyB = 3297 K). Assuming that the melting point and the forging temperature of Vb can be achieved, answer the following questions. a. Determine the specific heat capacity (J/kg-°C) of Vb if it loses 519.2775 kJ as it is being cooled from its melting point down to its forging temperature. b. The newly forged headpiece is then submerged in 2.5 L of liquid water initially at room temperature. Since the headpiece is still at its forging temperature right before it was submerged in water, some of the water vaporized in the process.
