Tutorial Ch12

This document contains multiple physics problems involving calculations of heat transfer and changes in temperature. Problem 69 asks the student to determine the latent heat of fusion of an unknown material using its melting point, the specific heat of its liquid phase, its mass, and the initial and final temperatures of a calorimeter system containing the material, aluminum cup, and glycerin. The student is given all values needed to calculate the latent heat of fusion except for that value.

Chapter 12

43. ssm Ideally, when a thermometer is used to measure the temperature of an object,
the temperature of the object itself should not change. However, if a significant
amount of heat flows from the object to the thermometer, the temperature will change.
A thermometer has a mass of 31.0 g, a specific heat capacity of c = 815 J/(kg oC), and
a temperature of 12.0 oC. It is immersed in 119 g of water, and the final temperature of
the water and thermometer is 41.5 oC. What was the temperature of the water before
the insertion of the thermometer?

49. ssm At a fabrication plant, a hot metal forging has a mass of 75 kg and a specific
o
heat capacity of 430 J/(kg C). To harden it, the forging is immersed in 710 kg of oil
that has a temperature of 32 oC and a specific heat capacity of 2700 J/(kg oC). The
final temperature of the oil and forging at thermal equilibrium is 47 oC. Assuming that
heat flows only between the forging and the oil, determine the initial temperature of
the forging.

* 55. ssm A rock of mass 0.15 kg falls from rest from a height of 15 m into a pail
containing 0.40 kg of water. The rock and water have the same initial temperature.
The specific heat capacity of the rock is 1840 J/(kg oC). Ignore the heat absorbed by
the pail itself, and determine the rise in the temperature of the rock and water.

57. ssm How much heat must be added to 0.25 kg of aluminum to change it from a
solid at 130 oC to a liquid at 660 oC (its melting point)? The latent heat of fusion for

aluminum is 4.0 x 105 J/kg.

61. ssm Find the mass of water that vaporizes when 3.50 kg of mercury at 205 oC is
added to 0.110 kg of water at 80.0 oC.

* 69. ssm An unknown material has a normal melting/freezing point of -25.0 oC, and
the liquid phase has a specific heat capacity of 160 J/(kg oC). One-tenth of a kilogram
of the solid at -25.0 oC is put into a 0.150-kg aluminum calorimeter cup that contains
o
0.100 kg of glycerin. The temperature of the cup and the glycerin is initially 27.0 C.
All the unknown material melts, and the final temperature at equilibrium is 20.0 oC.
The calorimeter neither loses energy to nor gains energy from the external
environment. What is the latent heat of fusion of the unknown material?
