Concept explainers
Interpretation: The following problem can be comprehended by the concept of heat.
Concept introduction: Heat capacity is a physical quantity which is equal to the ratio of heat given to (or taken from) the object to the resultant change in temperature. Its SI unit is Joule/ Kelvin. It is an extensive attribute of matter. When the heat capacity is calculated per unit mole for a substance, it is called molar heat capacity while it is called specific heat capacity or specific heat, when it is measured per unit mass for a substance. For a particular substance, heat capacity is directly proportional to the quantity of the substance present. Yet the specific heat is an attribute of the structure of a substance. It depends on the number of available degrees of freedom in the particular substance, which permits the particles of the substance to accumulate thermal energy.

- does it compare with the known melting and boiling point? (1) 9. The average kinetic energy of water molecules is a measure of the temperature of water. When the temperature of water remains constant the average kinetic energy of the molecules remains constant, even though the water is being heated by the Bunsen flame. So, energy is being taken in by the water, but it is not being used to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules. 9.1 What type of energy are the water molecules gaining during a phase change?

It is known that a serving of nasi lemak contains 350 Calories (kcal). Concern of her weight, she decided to put an effort to reduce her weight by climbing stairs in her apartment. a) How many joules of energy are equivalent to one serving of nasi lemak? (CO3, PO1, C3) (1 kcal = 4184 Joule) b) How many steps must the woman climb on the stairway to burn all the energy from one serving of nasi lemak that she consumed? Assume the height of a single stair is 15.0 cm. (CO3, PO1, C3) c) The woman learned that human body generally have 25% efficiency of converting energy from food to usable energy. That means for 100 J of energy that she used, only 25 J of them is used to climb the stairs. Based on this fact, how many steps must the woman climb to work off her breakfast?
