10 g of aluminum at 200C and 20 g of copper are dropped into 50 cm3 of ethyl alcohol at 15C. The temperature quickly comes to 25C. What was the initial temperature of the copper?

A beaker with a metal bottom is filled with 20 g of water at 20C. It is brought into good thermal contact with a 4000 cm3 container holding 0.40 mol of a monatomic gas at 10 atm pressure. Both containers are well insulated from their surroundings.What is the gas pressure after a long time has elapsed? You can assume that the containers themselves are nearly massless and do not affect the outcome.

Figure CP19.79 shows a thermodynamic process followed by 0.015 mol of hydrogen. How much heat energy is transferred to the gas?

One cylinder in the diesel engine of a truck has an initial volume of 600 cm3 . Air is admitted to the cylinder at 30C and a pressure of 1.0 atm. The piston rod then does 400 J of work to rapidly compress the air. What are its final temperature and volume?

0.020 mol of a diatomic gas, with initial temperature 20C, are compressed from 1500 cm3 to 500 cm3 in a process in which pV2 = constant. How much heat energy is added during this process?

A monatomic gas fills the left end of the cylinder in Figure CP19.82. At 300 K, the gas cylinder length is 10.0 cm and the spring is compressed by 2.0 cm. How much heat energy must be added to the gas to expand the cylinder length to 16.0 cm?
