A) A 232.0 g piece of lead is heated to 84.0oC and then dropped into a calorimeter containing 514.0 g of water that initally is at 25.0oC. Neglecting the heat capacity of the container, find the final equilibrium temperature (in oC) of the lead and water.
B) A small spinning asteroid is in a circular orbit around a star, much like the earth's motion around our sun. The asteroid has a surface area of 8.30 m2. The total power it absorbs from the star is 4400 W. Assuming the surface is an ideal absorber and radiator, calculate the equilibrium temperature of the asteroid (in K).
C) An ideal monatomic gas goes from P1 = 190 atm and V1 = 50 m3 to P2 and V2 via an adiabatic process. If P2= 30 atm, what is V2 in m3?
A.
Given
mass of lead piece = 232 g = 0.232 kg
mass of water in calorimeter = 514g = 0.514 kg
Initial temperature of water = 25oc
Initial temperature of lead piece = 84oc
we know heat capacity of lead and water are 125.60J/kgand
4.184 kJ/kg-k
Conserving energy
heat lost by lead=heat gained by water
mLcL(TL- T)= mwcw (T - Tw)
0.232*125.604(84-T) = 0.514*4.184*1000(T - 25)
29.140128*(84 -T) = 2150.576*(T - 25)
2447.77075 – 29.140128*T= 2150.576*T - 53764.4
56212.1708 = 2179.71613*T
T = 25.78o C

B.
ideal absorber/radiator, means it will radiate according to
E=A*sigma*T4
where E is the energy emitted/sec,
A is the surface area of the emitting object,
sigma is a constant the Stefan Boltzman's constant = 5.67x10-8 W/m2/K4
T is the radiating temperature in degrees Kelvin
perfect radiators absorb all the energy incident upon them and then radiate all that energy to space
4400 J/s (1W=1J/s), we have
4400W = 8.3m2 x 5.67x10-8 W/m2/K4 *T4
T4=4400W/(8.3m2 x 5.67x10-8W/m2/K4)
T4=9.349 x 109 K4
T=310.95K
T = 310 K

C.
Data:
V1 = 50 m3
P1 = 190 atm
P2 = 30 atm
Use P*Vk = constant.
The value of k is 5/3 for a monatomic gas
P1*V1k = P2*V2k
Solve for V2:
P1*V1k/P2 = V2k
190*505/3/30 = V25/3
V2 = 151.33 m3
