FIGURE P19.62 shows a thermodynamic process followed by of helium.
a. Determine the pressure (in ), temperature (in ), and volume in of the gas at points 1,2 , and 3 . Put your results in a table for easy reading.
b. How much work is done on the gas during each of the three segments?
c. How much heat energy is transferred to or from the gas during each of the three segments?
You are boiling pasta and absentmindedly grab a copper stirring spoon rather than your wooden spoon. The copper spoon has a 20 mm 1.5 mm rectangular cross section, and the distance from the boiling water to your 35°C hand is 18 cm. How long does it take the spoon to transfer 25 J of energy to your hand?
a. Is the final temperature higher than, lower than, or equal to the initial temperature?
b. Is any heat energy added to or removed from the system in this process? Explain

When a space capsule returns to earth, its surfaces get very hot as it passes through the atmosphere at high speed. Has the space capsule been heated? If so, what was the source of the heat? If not, why is it hot?
a. 100 J of heat energy are transferred to 20 g of mercury. By how much does the temperature increase?
b. How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 20 g of water by the same amount?
