(a) The final temperature of the system is 86.1C°.

(b) At the final temperature, there is only water with a mass of 0.13 kg .

Step by step solution

01

Definition of the heat energy

The heat required to change temperature of a certain mass is given by,

Q=mcT… (1)

Here, m is the mass of the material, c is the specific heat of the material,Tandis the change in temperature.

The heat transfer in phase change is,

Q=mLf… (2)

Here, m is the mass of the material, and Lfis the latent heat for the phase change.

02

Calculation of heat energy of can, ice and stream

(a)

The mass of the can ismc=0.446kg, the mass of the ice ismice=0.0950kg, and the mass of the stream ismstream=0.0350kg. The initial temperature of the ice isTice=0.0C°, and the initial temperature of the steam isTstream=100C°.

Let the final temperature be T .

By substituting the value of mc=0.446kgand change in temperature into formula heat energy (1), the heat energy of the can is,

Q=m×c×δT=0.446kg×390J/kg.K×T-0C°=173.9J/k×T

There are two heat energy for ice. One is due to temperature change and the another is due to phase transition.

Adding the equation (1) and (2), the heat energy of the ice is,

Q=m×c×δT+m×Lf=0.0950kg×4190J/kg.K×T-0C°+0.0950kg×334×103J/kg=3.173×104J+398J/k×T

There are two heat energy for stream. One is due to temperature change and the another is due to phase transition.

Adding the equation (1) and (2), the heat energy of the stream is,

Q=m×c×δT-m×Lf=0.0350kg×4190J/kg.K×T-100C°+0.0350kg×2256×103J/kg=-9.362×104J+146.6J/k×T

03

Calculation of the final temperature

The total heat energy of the system at thermal equilibrium is zero.

Qcan+Qice+Qsteam=0173.9J/k×Tcan+3.173×104J+398J/k×Tice+-9.362×104J+146.6J/k×Tsteam=0T=6.189×104J718.5J/k=86.1C°

Hence, the final temperature is86.1C°.

(b)

At the final temperature, there is no ice and stream. There is only water with a mass of 0.13 kg .

Two bodies made of the same material have the same external dimensions and appearance, but one is solid and the other is hollow. When their temperature is increased, is the overall volume expansion the same or different? Why?

You hold an inflated balloon over a hot-air vent in your house and watch it slowly expand. You then remove it and let it cool back to room temperature. During the expansion, which was larger: the heat added to the balloon or the work done by the air inside it? Explain. (Assume that air is an ideal gas.) Once the balloon has returned to room temperature, how does the net heat gained or lost by the air inside it compare to the net work done on or by the surrounding air?

Imagine a special air filter placed in a window of a house. The tiny holes in the filter allow only air molecules moving faster than a certain speed to exit the house, and allow only air molecules moving slower than that speed to enter the house from outside. Explain why such an air filter would cool the house, and why the second law of thermodynamics makes building such a filter an impossible task.

In addition to the normal cooking directions printed on the back of a box of rice, there are also “high-altitude directions.” The only difference is that the “high-altitude directions” suggest increasing the cooking time and using a greater volume of boiling water in which to cook the rice. Why should the directions depend on the altitude in this way?

In some household air conditioners used in dry climates, air is cooled by blowing it through a water-soaked filter, evaporating some of the water. How does this cool the air? Would such a system work well in a high-humidity climate? Why or why not?
