One mole of copper at a uniform temperature of 20°C is placed in thermal contact with a second mole of copper which, initially, is at a uniform temperature of 150°C. Calculate the temperature of the two-mole system, which is contained in an adiabatic enclosure, when thermal equilibrium is attained. Why is the common uniform temperature not exactly 85°C? How much heat is transferred and how much entropy is produced by the transfer?

Two rooms, each a cube 4.0 mper side, share a 14-cm thick brick wall. Because of a number of 100-W lightbulbs in one room, the air is at 34 ∘C, while in the other room it is at 10 ∘C. How many of the 100-W bulbs are needed to maintain the temperature difference across the wall? Express your answer as an integer.

A 100 g aluminum calorimeter contains 250 g of water. The two substances are in thermal equilibrium at 10°C. Two metallic blocks are placed in the water. One is a 50 g piece of copper at 82°C. The other sample has a mass of 78 g and is originally at a temperature of 100°C. The entire system stabilizes at a final temperature of 20°C. Determine the specific heat of the unknown second sample.

A large block of ice is sitting on a thick copper slab. The bottom surface of the slab is maintained at a temperature of 60.0°C. The upper surface, completely in contact with the ice, is at the temperature of the ice, which is 0°C. The slab is 3.90 cm thick, and has an area of 80.0 cm2. Note that copper has a thermal conductivity of 401 W/(mK), aluminum has a thermal conductivity of 237 W/(mK), and the latent heat of...

A sheet of aluminum weighing 100.0 g and at a temperature of 50.0 C is placed in contact with a piece of copper weighing 100.0 g and at a temperature of 100.0 C. 1) What do you expect to happen? Which metal is going to get warmer? Why? If you did not have a thermometer on the blocks, what visual cue would let you know one is hottter than the other? 2) Will the final temperature just be average of...

The thermal expansion of aluminum is plotted against temperature in the figure below. Measure the plot at 800 K and see how well the result compares with the data in the table below. (a) (b) (a) The overall thermal expansion (ΔL>L) of aluminum is measurably greater than the lattice parameter expansion (Δa>a) at high temperatures because vacancies are produced by thermal agitation. (b) A semilog (Arrhenius-type) plot of ln (vacancy concentration) versus 1/T based on the data of part (a)....
