1. Define heat transfer through conduction, convection and radiation. Give example for each in
everyday life

9. A glass has a volume capacity of 400 cm3, is fully filled with water at 200C. If the glass and
the water are heated to raise the temperature of the water to 700C (αglass = 9 x 10-6 C-1 and
water = 2,1x 10-4 C-1), then determine the amount of water spilled.
10. A mass of 200 g of water at 30oC is mixed with x g of ice at -10oC, given that the specific
heat capacity of water = 1 cal.g-1.oC-1, the specific heat capacity of ice = 0.5 cal.g-1.oC-1, the
specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 80 cal.g-1). If the final temperature of the water is 5oC,
then determine the value of x.

12. An aluminum bar whose length is 0.400 m and diameter is 6.00𝑥10−3 𝑚 is used to stir a
sugary water solution having a temperature of 1080C. If the other end of the bar is at a room
temperature of 280C, how much heat flows through the length of the bar in 5 minutes? The
thermal conductivity of aluminum is 200 W/mK.
13. One hundred grams of ice at -50C is mixed with 200 g of water at 300C at 1 atm of pressure.
The specific heat capacity of ice = 0.5 cal.g-1.oC-1, the specific latent heat of fusion of ice =
80 cal.g-1. If heat transfer occurs only between the water and ice, determine:
a. the final temperature of the mixture
b. the mass of ice that melts.
14. Space invaders land on Earth. In the temperature scale used by the invaders, the melting
point of ice is 15°𝑋 and its boiling point is 165°𝑋. The thermometer of the invaders shows
that the temperature on Earth is42°𝑋. What is this temperature in the Celsius scale?
15. Find and explain 6 misconceptions of heat and temperature based on prior study (for 5 last
years) which had discussed about those topics. And mention the correct concept of it.
