Problem 1.42. The specific heat capacity of Albertson's Rotini Tricolore is ap-
proximately 1.8 J/g °C. Suppose you toss 340 g of this pasta (at 25°C) into 1.5
liters of boiling water. What effect does this have on the temperature of the water
(before there is time for the stove to provide more heat)?
What is the standard unit of temperature in the SI? (Do not abbreviate; for example gram not g.)
In an air conditioner, 12.65 MJ of heat transfer occurs from a cold environment in 1.00 h. (a) What mass of ice melting would involve the same heat transfer? (b) How many hours of operation would be equivalent to melting 900 kg ofice? (c) If ice costs 20 cents per kg, do you think the air conditioner could be operated more cheaply than by simply using ice? Describe in detail how you evaluate the relative costs.

- Please provide complete step by step answer: A customer orders 200ml of Sumatran coffee at precisely 60.0°C. You then need to drop the temperature of the coffee, initially at 90.0°C, to the ordered temperature. In order to simplify the calculations, you will start by assuming that coffee has the specific heat and density as if water. In the following parts, you will remove these simplifications. Solve now this problem assuming the density is 1.000 g/ml for coffee and its specific heat capacity is 4.184 J/(g ºC). If you had used ice cubes to cool the coffee, your calculation of q would have been a two- step process: (1) the ice at 0 oC first has to melt (energy added to go from solid to liquid; and then (2) to warm the liquid from 0 oC to the final temperature where q = mice cice + mwater cwater ∆T where cice = 2.11 J/ g . oC cwater = 4.184 J/ g . oC (Note: there is no ∆T for the first step since melting of the ice occurs at 0 oC, no temperature change) What…arrow_forwardA new temperature scale is designed with freezing of water at 50 X and boiling at atmospheric pressure occurring at 300 X.
