Two containers, A and B, contain equal amount of the same ideal gas occupying the same volume, and at the same temperature initially. Container A is fitted with a moveable piston, while volume of container B is fixed. Then equal amount of heat is added to both systems. When heat is added to container A, it expands. How do the final temperatures of the two systems compare and why? a) System A has a final higher temperature than B due...

Imagine that you have two pieces of different types of metal of the same mass. You then perform the following experiment. You take 500 ml of water in a well-insulated beaker with a diameter of 75 mm at 20.0+/-0.05°C. The two masses are heated to 100 +/- 0.05°C. Metal A is place in the water container. After waiting some time, you find that the temperature of the system stabilizes at 24.8+/- 0.05 °C. You then add metal B to the...
