On a 12 day wilderness expedition you'll need to heat 5.0kg of water to the boiling point each day. The air temperature will average 25°C. You have available canisters of compressed propane C3H8 fuel, which you'll burn to heat the water. Each canister has 25.g of propane in it. What is the minimum number of fuel canisters you must bring? The standard heat of formation of propane at 25°C is −103.85/kJmol.

A common cooking technique calls for adding salt to boiling water. Boiling requires heat to overcome the molecular attractions between water molecules so that they can “jump” into the air. After hearing this you think of 2 reasons this might be: 1. saltwater boils faster and 2. saltwater boils hotter. As a scientist, you are hesitant to accept either idea without empirical evidence. Thus, you plan to test these hypotheses by collecting two equivalent pots, fill one with a liter...

A pot of water is boiling under one atmosphere of pressure. Assume that heat enters the pot only through its bottom, which is copper and rests on a heating element. In two minutes, the mass of water boiled away is m = 3.5 kg. The radius of the pot bottom is R = 10.0 cm and the thickness is L = 1.0 mm. What is the temperature of the heating element in contact with the pot?

I had to heat 6 eggs. 3 in boiling water, 3 in the oven. I had to take them out at 5, 10, & 15 minutes. I then placed them each in cold water. I had to observe what happened to each egg and now I have to answer these questions. I don't understand what temperature gradient means and what type of answer he is looking for. 1. Heat transfer is both external, from the water or air to the...

An insulated heat exchanger uses geothermal water to heat water for a chemical plant. Water enters the heat exchanger at a rate of 36 kg/s and is heated from 23 ∘∘C to 69 ∘∘C. The geothermal water enters the exchanger at a rate of 41.4 kg/s and at an initial temperature of 130 ∘∘C. The specific heat of the geothermal water is 4.31 kJ/(kg K). Determine the rate of heat transfer between the two streams and the rate of entropy...
