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.
