Your 200gcup of tea is boiling-hot. About how much ice should you add to bring it down to a comfortable sipping temperature of 65∘C? (Assume that the ice is initially at -15∘C. The specific heat capacity of ice is (0.5cal/g⋅∘C..)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The sum of these three heat is equal to the heat lost by the team=45.9g

Step by step solution

01

Step : 1 Thermal capacity

We have a 200gram cup of boiling tea and want to chill it down to 65oCbefore drinking it, so we put a mass mof ice (at -15OC) into it. Given that ice has a thermal capacity of Assuming that the tea has the same heat capacity as pure water 1cal⋅g−1⋅K−1, the tea's heat capacity must fall by 35∘, implying that it must give up some heat:

Qwater=mcΔT

Qtea=200×1×(35)=7000cal

02

Step : 2  Stages of melting ice 

The required heat to raise the temperature of ice to its melting point in the first phase is:

Q1=mcΔT

where mis the ice's mass, cis the ice's specific heat 0.5cal⋅g−1⋅K−1is the temperature difference between the ice's original temperature and the melting point, so:

Q1=m0.5×(0−(−15))=7.5mcal

The amount of heat necessary to melt the ice in the second stage is:

Q2=m×L

where Lis the heat 80cal/gfor melting ice

Q2=m×80=80mcal

The amount of heat lost by the tea in the third phase to achieve a water temperature of 650Cis,

Q3=mcΔT

where mis the mass of melted ice (water), and cis water's specific heat.1cal⋅g−1⋅K−1andΔT is the temperature difference between the beginning temperature of melting ice and the ultimate temperature of the combination at 650C.

03

Step :3 Sum of three heat

Because the sum of these three heats equals the heat lost by the tea, equations (1),(2),(3)and(4) can be used,

Qtea=Q1+Q2+Q3

7000=7.5m+80m+65m=152.5m

→m=45.9g

In analogy with the thermal conductivity, derive an approximate formula for the diffusion coefficient of an ideal gas in terms of the mean free path and the average thermal speed. Evaluate your formula numerically for air at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and compare to the experimental value quoted in the text. How does D depend on T, at fixed pressure?

Does it ever make sense to say that one object is "twice as hot" as another? Does it matter whether one is referring to Celsius or Kelvin temperatures? Explain.

Measured heat capacities of solids and liquids are almost always at constant pressure, not constant volume. To see why, estimate the pressure needed to keep Vfixed as Tincreases, as follows.

(a) First imagine slightly increasing the temperature of a material at constant pressure. Write the change in volume,dV1, in terms of dTand the thermal expansion coefficient βintroduced in Problem 1.7.

(b) Now imagine slightly compressing the material, holding its temperature fixed. Write the change in volume for this process, dV2, in terms of dPand the isothermal compressibility κT, defined as

κT≡−1V∂V∂PT

(c) Finally, imagine that you compress the material just enough in part (b) to offset the expansion in part (a). Then the ratio of dPtodTis equal to (∂P/∂T)V, since there is no net change in volume. Express this partial derivative in terms of βandκT. Then express it more abstractly in terms of the partial derivatives used to define βandκT. For the second expression you should obtain

∂P∂TV=−(∂V/∂T)P(∂V/∂P)T

This result is actually a purely mathematical relation, true for any three quantities that are related in such a way that any two determine the third.

(d) Compute β,κT,and(∂P/∂T)Vfor an ideal gas, and check that the three expressions satisfy the identity you found in part (c).

(e) For water at 25∘C,β=2.57×10−4K−1andκT=4.52×10−10Pa−1. Suppose you increase the temperature of some water from 20∘Cto30∘C. How much pressure must you apply to prevent it from expanding? Repeat the calculation for mercury, for which (at25∘C)β=1.81×10−4K−1andκT=4.04×10−11Pa−1

Given the choice, would you rather measure the heat capacities of these substances at constant vor at constant p?

A battery is connected in series to a resistor, which is immersed in water (to prepare a nice hot cup of tea). Would you classify the flow of energy from the battery to the resistor as "heat" or "work"? What about the flow of energy from the resistor to the water?

Problem 1.41. To measure the heat capacity of an object, all you usually have to do is put it in thermal contact with another object whose heat capacity you know. As an example, suppose that a chunk of metal is immersed in boiling water (100°C), then is quickly transferred into a Styrofoam cup containing 250 g of water at 20°C. After a minute or so, the temperature of the contents of the cup is 24°C. Assume that during this time no significant energy is transferred between the contents of the cup and the surroundings. The heat capacity of the cup itself is negligible.

  1. How much heat is lost by the water?
  2. How much heat is gained by the metal?
  3. What is the heat capacity of this chunk of metal?
  4. If the mass of the chunk of metal is 100 g, what is its specific heat capacity?
