1. What is the temperature in F of the mixture if
0.4 kg of water at 85C is added to 0.3 kg of
water at 15C in a polysterine cup.

2. A glass weighing 30g contains 85g of water at

20C. How much ice in lbs at 0C will be
needed to bring the temperature down to 5C?
Specific Heat of glass = 0.16 cal/C
3. A brass rod 4ft long expands by 1/16 inch when heated
from 294.11K to 200F. Find the coefficient of linear
expansion of the brass.

4. A tank of CO2 gas contains 10ft3 of gas at atmospheric

pressure and a temperature of 71.6F. A safety value
permits the gas to escape if the pressure becomes greater
than atmospheric pressure. What volume of gas in cm3 will
escape if the sun shining on the tank raises the
temperature of the gas to 413K? Volume expansion of the
gas is 3.5X10-3/C.
