1. On a thermometer X, the freezing point of water at -30o and the boiling point of water at 90o. 60OX = ….. oC.
Poznato:
The freezing point of water = -30o
The boiling point of water = 90o
Traži se: 60oX = ….. oC
Rešenje:
On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32oF and the boiling point of water is 212oF. Between the freezing point and the boiling point, 212o - 32o = 180o.
On the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is 0oC and the boiling point of water is 100oC. Between the freezing point and the boiling point, 100o - 0o = 100o.
On the X scale, the freezing point of water is -30oX and the boiling point of water is 90oX. Between the freezing point and the boiling point, 90o – (-30o) = 90o + 30o = 120o.
Change the X scale to the Celsius scale :

2. A metal rod heated from 30oVeliki C 80oC. The final length of the rod is 115 cm. Koeficijent od linearno širenje is 3.10-3 oC-1. What is the initial length of the metal rod?
Poznato:
Početna temperatura (T1) = 30oC
Konačna temperatura (T2) = 80oC
Promjena temperature (ΔT) = 80oC - 30oC = 50oC
Koeficijent linearnog širenja (α) = 3.10-3 oC-1
The final length of the metal (L) = 115 cm
Traži se: The initial length of the metal rod (Lo)
Rešenje:
The equation of the linear expansion :
L = Lo + ΔL
L = Lo + α Lo ΔT
L = Lo (1 + α ΔT)
115 = Lo (1 + 3.10-3.50)
115 = Lo (1 + 150.10-3)
115 = Lo (1 + 0.15)
115 = Lo (1.15)
Lo = 115/1.15
Lo = 100 cm
3. The initial length of a brass rod is 40 cm. After heated, the final length of the brass is 40.04 cm and the final temperature is 80oC. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the brass is 2.0 x 10-5 oC-1, what is the initial temperature of the brass rod.
Poznato:
Konačna temperatura (T2) = 80oC
Početna dužina (Lo) = 40 cm
The final length (L) = 40.04 cm
The increase in length (ΔL) = 40.04 cm – 40 cm = 0.04 cm
Koeficijent linearnog širenja (α) = 2.0 x 10-5 oC-1
Rešenje: Početna temperatura (T1)
Rješenje;
The equation of the linear expansion :
L = Lo + α Lo ΔT
L – Lo = α Lo ΔT
ΔL = α Lo ΔT
ΔL = α Lo (T2 - T1)
0.04 = (2.0 x 10-5)(40)(80 – T1)
0..04 = (80 x 10-5)(80 – T1)
0.04 = 0.0008 (80 – T1)
0.04 = 0.064 – 0.0008 T1
0..0008 T1 = 0.064 - 0.040
0.0008 T1 = 0.024
T1 = 30oC

8. 100-gram oil at 20oC and 50-gram iron at 75 oC are placed in 200-gram iron container. The increase in temperature of the container is 5oC and the specific heat of oil is 0.43 cal/g oC. What is the specific heat of the iron?
Poznato:
Mass of iron container (m) = 200 gr
The initial temperature of the iron container (T1) = the temperature of oil = 20oC
The final temperature of the iron container (T2) = 20oC+5oC = 25oC
Mass of oil (m) = 100 gram
The specific heat of oil (culje) = 0.43 cal/g oC
The initial temperature of oil (T1) = 20oC
The final temperature of oil (T2) = 20oC+5oC = 25oC
Mass of iron (m) = 50 gram
The initial temperature of oil (T1) = 75oC
The final temperature of oil (T2) = 25oC
Traži se: The specific heat of iron (c iron)
Rešenje:
Heat released by iron :
Q = m c ΔT = (50)(c)(75-25) = (50)(c)(50) = 2500c calorie
Heat absorbed by the iron container :
Q = m c ΔT = (200)(c)(25-20) = (200)(c)(5) = 1000c calorie
Heat absorbed by oil :
Q = m c ΔT = (100)(0.43)(25-20) = (43)(5) = 215 calorie
Black principle states that in a isolated system, heat released by the hotter object, absorbed by the cooler object.
Oslobađanje Q = Apsorpcija Q
2500c = 1000c + 215
2500c – 1000c = 215
1500c = 215
c = 215/1500

Poznato:
Masa vode (mvoda) = 200 grama
Temperatura vode (Tvoda) = 20oC
Specifična toplota vode (cvoda) = 1 cal/gr°C
Mass of ice (mled) = 50 grama
Temperatura leda (Tled) = -2oC
The specific heat of ice (cled) = 0.5 cal/gr°C
The heat of fusion for ice (L) = 80 cal/gr
Rešenje:
Heat to increases ice from -2oC do 0oC:
Q = mc ΔT
Q = (50 gram)(0.5 cal/gr°C)(0oC – (-2oC))
Q = (50)(0.5 cal)(2)
Q = 50 calorie
Heat for melting all ice :
Q = m L = (50 gram)(80 cal/gram) = 4000 calorie
Heat for decrease temperature of all water from 20oC do 0oC:
Q = mc ΔT
Q = (200 gram)(1 cal/gr°C)(0oC – (20oC))
Q = (200)(1 cal)(-20)
Q = -4000 calorie
Plus sign indicates that the heat is added, the minus sign indicates that heat released.
50-calorie of heat needed to increase the temperature of ice to 0oC and 4000-calorie needed to melting all ice. Total heat = 4050 calorie. The heat released by water is 4000 calorie.
Some of the ice not melting, so the final temperature of ice and water is 0oC.

Poznato:
Mass of aluminum = 200 gram
Temperature of aluminum = 20oC
Mass of water = 100 gram
Temperature of water = 80oC
The specific heat of aluminum = 0.22 cal/g oC
The specific heat of water = 1 cal/g oC
Wanted: The final temperature of aluminum
Rešenje:
Aluminum and water in thermal equilibrium so that the final temperature of aluminum = the final temperature of water.
Heat released by hot water (Q release) = heat absorbed by aluminum (Q absorb)
mvoda c (ΔT) = maluminijum c (ΔT)
(100)(1)(80 – T) = (200)(0.22)(T – 20)
(100)(80 – T) = (44)(T – 20)
8000 – 100T = 44T – 880
8000 + 880 = 44T + 100T
8880 = 144T
T = 62oC

Masa vode (mvoda) = 50 grama
Temperature of water = 29,8oC
Specifična toplota vode (cvoda) = 1 kal.g -1 .°C-1
The final temperature of water = 37oC
Traži se: The specific heat of metal (c metal)
Rešenje:
Heat released by hot metal (Q release) = heat absorbed by water (Q absorb)
mmetal c (ΔT) = mvoda c (ΔT)
(50)(c)(85 – 37) = (50)(1)(37 – 29.8)

Specifična toplota vode (cvoda) = 1 kal.g- 1 ° C -1
The heat of fusion for ice (Lled) = 80 kal.g -1
Wanted: Konačna temperatura
Rešenje:
Estimate the final condition :
Heat released by water to decrease its temperature from 30oC do 0oC:
Qpuštanje = mvoda cvoda (ΔT) = (200)(1)(30-0) = (200)(30) = 6000
Heat needed to melting all ice :
Q = mled Lled= (50)(80) = 4000
Heat used to melting all ice is 4000, while heat released by water is 6000. Can be concluded that the final temperature of the mixture above 0oC.
Black principle :
Heat released by water = heat for melting all ice + heat to increase the temperature of ice.
(mvoda)(cvoda)(ΔT) = (mled)(Lled) + (mled)(cvoda)(ΔT)
(200)(1)(30-T) = (50)(80) + (50)(1)(T-0)
(200)(30-T) = (50)(80) + (50)(T-0)
6000 – 200T = 4000 + 50T – 0
6000 – 4000 = 50T + 200T
2000 = 250T
T = 2000/250
T = 8oC
