Ch 17: Temperature and Heat
Chapter 17, Problem 17
A copper calorimeter can with mass 0.100 kg contains 0.160 kg of water and 0.0180 kg of ice in thermal equilibrium at atmospheric pressure. If 0.750 kg of lead at 255°C is dropped into the calorimeter can, what is the final temperature? Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings.

Textbook Question
In very cold weather a significant mechanism for heat loss by the human body is energy expended in warming the air taken into the lungs with each breath. (a) On a cold winter day when the temperature is -20°C, what amount of heat is needed to warm to body temperature (37°C) the 0.50 L of air exchanged with each breath? Assume that the specific heat of air is 1020 J/kg K and that 1.0 L of air has mass 1.3 * 10^-3 kg.

Textbook Question
An electric kitchen range has a total wall area of 1.40 m^2 and is insulated with a layer of fiberglass 4.00 cm thick. The inside surface of the fiberglass has a temperature of 175°C, and its outside surface is at 35.0°C. The fiberglass has a thermal conductivity of 0.040 W/m K. (a) What is the heat current through the insulation, assuming it may be treated as a flat slab with an area of 1.40 m^2 ?
