Chapter 14: Problem 43

You are given \(250 \mathrm{g}\) of coffee (same specific heat as water) at \(80.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) (too hot to drink). In order to cool this to $\left.60.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, \text { how much ice (at } 0.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$ must be added? Ignore heat content of the cup and heat exchanges with the surroundings.

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: Approximately \(35.7 \mathrm{g}\) of ice is needed to cool the coffee to \(60.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

Step by step solution

01

Write the energy conservation equation

The energy conservation equation can be written as: heat gained by the ice + heat gained by the melted ice = heat lost by the coffee
02

Write the formula for heat gained/lost

Heat gained/lost can be written as \(Q = mcΔT\) for a given substance, where \(Q\) is the heat, \(m\) is the mass, \(c\) is the specific heat capacity, and \(ΔT\) is the change in temperature. In this case, we have three substances: ice, melted ice (water), and coffee.
03

Introduce the latent heat of fusion for ice

During ice melting, we must account for the amount of heat absorbed by ice to turn to water. The heat obtained from the coffee will first be used to melt the ice; the melted ice will then gain heat from the remaining heat available. The latent heat of fusion can be written as \(Q_{fusion} = mL\), where \(Q_{fusion}\) is the heat absorbed during the phase change, \(m\) is the mass of ice, and \(L\) is the latent heat of fusion.
04

Write the energy conservation equation with known values and variables

Considering all the steps above, we can write the equation for this problem, taking \(m_{ice}\) as the mass of ice added: \((m_{ice}L) + (m_{ice}c_wΔT_{melted\_ice}) = (m_{coffee}c_wΔT_{coffee})\) where \(c_w = 4.18 \mathrm{J/g\:C}\) is the specific heat capacity of water, \(L = 334 \mathrm{J/g}\) is the latent heat of fusion for water, \(m_{coffee} = 250 \mathrm{g}\), \(ΔT_{melted\_ice} = (60 - 0)\), and \(ΔT_{coffee} = (80 - 60)\).
05

Solve the equation for mass of ice

Simplify and plug in known values: \(m_{ice}(334) + m_{ice}(4.18)(60) = (250)(4.18)(20)\) \(m_{ice}(334 + 250.8) = (250)(83.6)\) \(m_{ice} = \frac{(250)(83.6)}{584.8}\) \(m_{ice} \approx 35.7 \mathrm{g}\) So, approximately \(35.7 \mathrm{g}\) of ice is needed to cool the coffee to \(60.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

The amount of heat generated during the contraction of muscle in an amphibian's leg is given by $$Q=0.544 \mathrm{mJ}+(1.46 \mathrm{mJ} / \mathrm{cm}) \Delta x$$ where \(\Delta x\) is the length shortened. If a muscle of length \(3.0 \mathrm{cm}\) and mass \(0.10 \mathrm{g}\) is shortened by $1.5 \mathrm{cm}$ during a contraction, what is the temperature rise? Assume that the specific heat of muscle is $4.186 \mathrm{J} /\left(\mathrm{g} \cdot^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$.
A spring of force constant \(k=8.4 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}\) is compressed by \(0.10 \mathrm{m} .\) It is placed into a vessel containing $1.0 \mathrm{kg}$ of water and then released. Assuming all the energy from the spring goes into heating the water, find the change in temperature of the water.
Imagine that 501 people are present in a movie theater of volume $8.00 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{m}^{3}$ that is sealed shut so no air can escape. Each person gives off heat at an average rate of \(110 \mathrm{W} .\) By how much will the temperature of the air have increased during a 2.0 -h movie? The initial pressure is \(1.01 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{Pa}\) and the initial temperature is \(20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) Assume that all the heat output of the people goes into heating the air (a diatomic gas).
An \(83-\mathrm{kg}\) man eats a banana of energy content $1.00 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{kcal} .$ If all of the energy from the banana is converted into kinetic energy of the man, how fast is he moving, assuming he starts from rest?
A hotel room is in thermal equilibrium with the rooms on either side and with the hallway on a third side. The room loses heat primarily through a 1.30 -cm- thick glass window that has a height of \(76.2 \mathrm{cm}\) and a width of $156 \mathrm{cm} .\( If the temperature inside the room is \)75^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ and the temperature outside is \(32^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\), what is the approximate rate (in \(\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{s}\) ) at which heat must be added to the room to maintain a constant temperature of \(75^{\circ} \mathrm{F} ?\) Ignore the stagnant air layers on either side of the glass.
