thanks a lot

Explanation / Answer

The mass m1 = 5.0kg and temperature T1 = 10C

the another mass m2 = 1.0kg and temperature T2 = 40C

from calorimetry

       m1cT1 = m2cT2

        m1( T - 10) = m2(40-T)

       5T - 50 = 40 - T

       6T = 90

then the final temperature T = 15 deg

which large surface should you place a hot pot if you want to cool off the pot as quickly as possible

is depends upon the specific heat of the material so for rough steel have low specific heat then it can cools fast then the others therefore the choice is (c)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The internal energy of the diatomic atom is

         Ein = nCv dT

          85J    = (1) (5/2R) (T - 293)

          85 = 2.5(8.31) (T - 293)

         T-293 = 4

therefore T = 297K
