At time t 5 0, a vessel contains a mixture of 10 kg of water and an unknown mass of ice in equilibrium at 0C. The temperature of the mixture is measured over a period of an hour, with the following results: During the first 50 min, the mixture remains at 0C; from 50 min to 60 min, the temperature increases steadily from 0C to 2C. Neglecting the heat capacity of the vessel, determine the mass of ice that was initially placed in it. Assume a constant power input to the container.

An ice-cube tray is filled with 75.0 g of water. After the filled tray reaches an equilibrium temperature 20.0C, it is placed in a freezer set at 28.00C to make ice cubes. (a) Describe the processes that occur as energy is being removed from the water to make ice. (b) Calculate the energy that must be removed from the water to make ice cubes at 28.00C.

An aluminum rod and an iron rod are joined end to end in good thermal contact. The two rods have equal lengths and radii. The free end of the aluminum rod is maintained at a temperature of 100C, and the free end of the iron rod is maintained at 0C. (a) Determine the temperature of the interface between the two rods. (b) If each rod is 15 cm long and each has a cross-sectional area of 5.0 cm2, what quantity of energy is conducted across the combination in 30 min?
