Chapter 1, Problem 1.62P

A small sphere of reference-grade iron with a specific heat of 447 J/kg K and a mass of 0.515 kg is suddenly immersed in a water-ice mixture. Fine thermocouple wires suspend the sphere, and the temperature is observed to change from 15 to 14 ° C in 6.35 s. The experiment is repeated with a metallic sphere of the same diameter, but of unknown composition with a mass of 1.263 kg. If the same observed temperature change occurs in 4.59 s, what is the specific heat of the unknown material?

Steam at 100°C is used to warm 350 g of water contained in a 300 g aluminum container.  The initial temperature of the water and aluminum is 20°C and after the steam is added, the equilibrium temperature is 50°C. What mass of steam will be required to accomplish this?Specific Heat of steam = 2010 J/kg- oCSpecific Heat of water = 4186 J/kg- oCSpecific Heat of aluminum = 900 J/kg-  oCLatent Heat of Fusion of ice = 3.33 x 10 5  J/kgLatent Heat of Vaporization of water = 2.26 x 10 6  J/kg
A 30.14 g stainless steel ball bearing at 117.82°C is placed in a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 120 mL of water at 18.44°C. If the specific heat of the ball bearing is 0.474 J/g-°C, calculate the final temperature of the water. Assume the calorimeter to have negligible heat capacity. Specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g-°C .
A dead body was found within a closed room of a house where the temperature was a constant 70°F. At the time of discovery, the core temperature of the body was determined to be 85°F. One hour later a second measurement showed that the core temperature of the body was 80°F. Assume that the time of death corresponds t = 0 and that the core temperature at that time was 98.6°F. Determine how many hours elapsed before the body was found. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) hr
