A 65 cm3 block of iron is removed from an 800C furnace and
immediately dropped into 200 mL of 20C water. What fraction
of the water boils away?
III FIGURE CP19.79 shows a thermodynamic process followed by of hydrogen. How much heat energy is transferred to the gas?
of nitrogen gas at and an initial pressure of undergo an isobaric expansion until the volume has tripled.
a. What are the gas volume and temperature after the expansion?
b. How much heat energy is transferred to the gas to cause this expansion?
The gas pressure is then decreased at constant volume until the original temperature is reached.
c. What is the gas pressure after the decrease?
d. What amount of heat energy is transferred from the gas as its pressure decreases?
e. Show the total process on a diagram. Provide an appropriate scale on both axes.
The specific heat of most solids is nearly constant over a wide temperature range. Not so for diamond. Between 200 K and 600 K,
the specific heat of diamond is reasonably well described by c = 2.8T - 350 J/kg K, where T is in K. For gemstone diamonds, 1 carat = 200 mg. How much heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of a 3.5 carat diamond from -50°C to 250°C?
