Question
1. (30) Figure 1 is a graph of the change in temperature of a substance as a function of the heat added. The process starts at - 30o and ends at 550o C. Assume the substance starts as a solid and ends as a gas, 1 gram of the substance is observed. Note that the graph is truncated on the heat added scale.

a. [10] Using figure 1, calculate the specific heat of this substance in solid or first phase.
b. [10] What is the Latent Heat of Vaporization for this substance?
c. [10] What is the Specific Heat for this substance in vapor phase?
d. [10] Bone has a young's modulas of about 14.5 x 109 Pa. Under compression it can withstand 160 x106 Pa before breaking. If you estimate the length of your femur (thigh Bone ) to be 0 .5 m calculate the amount of compression this bone can stand.
Explanation / Answer
a) Given that mass m = 1 gm
temperature differnce T = ( 550C - (-30C )
= 580 C
Q = m c T
c = Q / mT
= 815.7 J / 1 gm * c * 580 C
= 1.40 J / g C
b ) latent heat of vapourization is L = Q / m
= 3076 J / 1.0 *10^-3 Kg
= 3076 *10^-3 J / kg
c ) specific heat of vapourization state is
Q = m c T
c = Q / mT
= 5000J / 1 gm * c * 580 C
= 8.62 J / g C
