1. It is possible.

This happens in every liquid that can vaporize, it an exception to

the general rule that more heat makes a high temperature. When heat is added to a
boiling liquid it can evaporate or change into a gas state without having the
temperature changed. In this case, the energy added to the liquid goes into
breaking the bonds between the liquid molecules without causing the temperature
to change. The change of state requires energy, so added energy goes into that
instead of increasing the temperature.

2. Steam holds much more energy than water. To convert a 1kg of boiling water into
1kg of hot steam a 2257 kJ of energy must be supplied. This extra energy or the
latent heat of vaporization pushes the water molecules in the kettle and does the
conversion of water into steam. Putting your hand in front of the steam it condenses
back to water and cools itself, your hand now absorbs not only the heat from the
water but also the extra energy that it contains.3. Sand is hotter than water in the
morning because the specific heat of sand is smaller than the specific heat of water.
Specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass that it needs to raise the
temperature by one degree Celsius. A low specific heat entails an objects
temperature to rise more quickly. At the same time a low specific heat means that
an object doesnt retain heat well. In any circumstance where the two objects with
initially the same temperature but different specific heats are subjected to a cold
environment, the one with a lower specific will cool down faster.
4. Alcohol rub is effective in reducing fever because alcohol evaporates at a lower
temperature than water. When a liquid evaporates, it only needs to reach a certain
temperature to turn into gas. After the liquid evaporates into gas, the temperature
does not need to continually increase in order for it to remain in its gaseous state.
Therefore alcohol evaporating at a lower temperature will have a more or less cool
vapor.
5. Thermal expansion is beneficial to man when there needs to be an elongation of
such materials, simultaneously reducing diameter. One example could be going to a
dentist, and you need to insert a wire in holes to align the teeth properly. The metal
is heated so that it elongates itself, shortening in diameter, allowing the wire to fit
the said hole. This can also be a nuisance when bridges arent built properly.
Thermal expansion can cause cracks at the bridges end, if not fitted properly.
6. Because, unlike mercury, water sticks or adheres to the glass tube. Since it is too
transparent, reading the temperature will also be difficult. Water also has a lower
boiling point and a higher freezing point in comparison to other liquids. Lastly, it has
a higher specific heat and needs more heat to work.
7.L/L = T
L = LT = (1)(24e-6)(80) = 0.00192 meter

so the new cube is 1.00192 m on a side and the volume is that cubed or 1.00577 m
density is 2700 kg / 1.00577 m = 2685 kg/m
8. M=mass
hf = latent heat of fusion of ice (80)
sh = specific heat of water ( 1.00)
hv = heat of vaporization of ice (500)
m( hf + sh (Tf - Ti) + hv)
1g*(80 cal/gram + 1 cal/g-C *(100 C - 0 C) + 540 cal/gram)
= 720
720 calories of heat is required to fully vaporize 1 gram of ice.
9. Using specific heat c1 = 900 J/kg-K for Al and c2 = 4186 J/kg-K for H2O.
The calorimeter and water together have:
m3 = m1+m2 = 0.4 kg
c3 = (m1c1+m2c2)/m3 = 2953.75 J/kg-K
T3 = 30 C
Step 2. Combine Cu with Al-H2O combo:
Putting m3, c3, T3 values from step 1 into m1, c1, T1.
Using specific heat c2 = 386 J/kg-K for Cu.
Solving for new T3 using basic equation c1m1(T3-T1) = -c2m2(T3-T2) ==>
T3 = (m1c1T1+m2c2T2)/(m1c1+m2c2) = 31.3458 C. = 31C
