Exercise

1. On a thermometer X, the freezing point of water at -30 o and the boiling point of water at
90o. 60OX = ….. oC.
2. A metal rod heated from 30oC to 80oC. The final length of the rod is 115 cm. The
coefficient of linear expansion is 3.10-3 oC-1. What is the initial length of the metal rod?
3. A 200-gram water at 20°C placed in 50-gram ice at -2°C. If the change of heat just
between water and ice, what is the final temperature of the mixture? The specific heat of
water is 1 cal/gr°C, the specific heat of ice is 0.5 cal/gr°C, the heat of fusion for ice is 80
cal/gr.

4. 5.0 g of copper was heated from 20°C to 80°C. How much energy was used to heat Cu?
(Specific heat capacity of Cu is 0.092 cal/g. °C)
