Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 122DQ
Suppose that at a restaurant, you are served coffee before you are ready to drink it. In order that it be as hot as possible when you are ready for it, would you be wiser to add cream to it right away or to add cream just before you are ready to drink it? This question should elicit much discussion!

A piece of aluminum foil used to wrap a potato for baking in a hot oven can usually be handled safely within a few seconds after the potato is removed from the oven. The same is not true of the potato, however! Give two reasons for this difference.
How much heat is absorbed by a persons hand if 100 grams of liquid water at 100°C is poured on his hand? (Assume the final temperature of the water will be normal body temperature of 37°C)
How much heat is absorbed by a persons hand if 100 grams of steam at 100°C is first converted to liquid water at 100°C and then cooled to normal body temperature?
Which causes the more severe burn hot water or steam? Why?
Two water bottles X and Y have the same mass (m) and very similar size and shape but are made from
different materials (Mx and My respectively) at room temperature. The same amount of boiling water is
put into X and Y, and then both bottles are closed with screw caps. After 5 minutes, the temperature of
water in bottle X is higher than the water in bottle Y. We may then conclude that (with an explanation):
(a) Mx has higher specific heat and the water in X has lower internal energy.
(b) Mx has lower specific heat and the water in Y has higher internal energy.
(c) My has lower specific heat but the water in X and Y have the same internal energy.
(d) My has higher specific heat but the water in X has higher internal energy.
(e) My and My have the same specific heat and the water in X and Y have the same internal energy.

If youapply the same flame for the same time to 4L of water, what happens to its temperature? . Why?arrow_forwardone may think that cold water boils faster then warm water.The following is an explanation on why one may think the statement above may be true. The rate of heating depends on the liquid and its surrounding( which would be on the woodstove, stove, etc). Thus, cold water will absorb heat faster. However, once is turns warm, the water will slow down the heating rate, and will slowly trickle to a boil. It may be an allusion to one that sees cold water start boiling first, however, that is due to cold water reaching absorption rate. Postulate a reason for why cold water boils faster then warm water is thought to be true. Is there any scientific evidence backing this claim at all? Please explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
