Get started for freeWhy does the temperature of water not change while it is boiling?
A coin and a piece of glass are both heated to \(60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Which will feel warmer when you touch it?
A 1 -kg piece of iron is heated to \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), and then submerged in \(1 \mathrm{~kg}\) of water initially at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The iron cools and the water warms until they are at the same temperature (in thermal equilibrium). Assuming there is no other transfer of heat involved, is the final temperature closer to \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, 50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), or \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?\) Why?
Wood's metal is an alloy of the elements bismuth, lead, tin, and cadmium that has a melting point of \(70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Describe how it might be used in an automatic sprinkler system for fire suppression.
A company decides to make a novelty glass thermometer that uses water instead of mercury or alcohol. (a) The thermometer would include a warning informing the user that it should not be exposed to temperatures below \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Why? (b) Suppose the thermometer is taken outside where the temperature is \(1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Describe how the level of the water would change as it adjusts to the new temperature and how at some point it would behave very differently than a mercury- or alcohol-filled thermometer.
