SEATWORK:

1. A 406.0 kg copper bar is put into


a smelter for melting. The initial
temperature of the copper is 300.0
K. How much heat must the
smelter produce to completely melt
the copper bar? (The specific heat
for copper is 386 J/kgK, the heat
of fusion for copper is 205 kJ/kg,
and its melting point is 1357 K.)
2. A 5.10kg piece of solid copper
metal at an initial temperature T is
placed with 2.00 kg of ice that is
initially at -27.0C. The ice is in an
insulated container of negligible
mass and no heat is exchanged
with the surroundings. After
thermal equilibrium is reached,
there is 0.70kg of ice and 1.30kg of
liquid water. What was the initial

temperature of the piece of


copper?
3. A laboratory technician drops a
0.0850-kg sample of unknown
material, at a temperature of 100.0
C, into a calorimeter. The
calorimeter can, initially at 19.0 C,
is made of 0.150 kg of copper and
contains 0.200 kg of water. The
final temperature of the
calorimeter can is 26.1 C.
Compute the specific heat capacity
of the sample.

4. One suggested treatment for a


person who has suffered a stroke is
to immerse the patient in an icewater bath at 0 C to lower the
body temperature, which prevents
damage to the brain. In one set of
tests, patients were cooled until
their internal temperature reached
32.3C. To treat a 67.6kg patient,
what is the minimum amount of ice
(at 0 C) that you need in the bath
so that its temperature remains at
0 C? The specific heat capacity of
the human body is 3480 J/(kgC),
and recall that normal body
temperature is 37.0C.
