Chapter 14: Q20Q (page 390)

A 22掳C day is warm, while a swimming pool at 22掳C feels cool. Why?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The rate of heat flow is more when you are in the pool. So, it feels cooler inside the pool than the land at the same temperature.

Step by step solution

01

Concepts

Air is a poor conductor of heat as compared to water.

When the rate of heat flow from the body is more, it feels cooler.

02

Explanation

Water is a better conductor of heat than air. So, air cannot conduct heat at a faster rate. The rate of heat flow is more when you are in the pool. Thus, it feels cooler inside the pool than the landmass at the same temperature.

(II)Determine the energy content of 100 g of Karen鈥檚 fudge cookies from the following measurements. A 10-g sample of a cookie is allowed to dry before putting it in a bomb calorimeter (page 396). The aluminum bomb has a mass of 0.615 kg and is placed in 2.00 kg of water contained in an aluminum calorimeter cup of mass 0.524 kg. The initial temperature of the system is 15.0掳C, and its temperature after ignition is 36.0掳C.

To get an idea of how much thermal energy is contained in the world鈥檚 oceans, estimate the heat liberated when a cube of ocean water, 1 km on each side, is cooled by 1 K. (Approximate the ocean water as pure water for this estimate.)

When a hot object warms a cooler object, does temperature flow between them? Are the temperature changes of the two objects equal? Explain.

(a) The temperature changes.

(b) The chemical composition changes.

(c) Heat flows into or out of the material.

(d) The molecules break apart into atoms.
