2) An insulated container is used to hold 50.0 g of water at 25.0 °C. A sample of a new alloy weighing 25.0 g is placed in a dry test tube and heated to a temperature of 250.0°C. The heated test tube is carefully removed with laboratory tongs and inclined so that the alloy slides into the water in the insulated container. The temperature of the water is measured and reaches a maximum of 56.2 °C. What is the specific heat capacity of this new alloy?

An amorphous solid can sometimes be converted to a crystalline solid by a process called annealing. Annealing consists of heating the substance to a temperature just below the melting point of the crystalline form and then cooling it slowly. Explain why this process helps produce a crystalline solid.
A common prank on college campuses is to switch the salt and sugar on dining hall tables, which is usually easy because the substances look so much alike. Yet, despite the similarity in their appearance, these two substances differ greatly in their properties, since one is a molecular solid and the other is an ionic solid. How do the properties differ and why?
Lithium hydride (LiH) has the sodium chloride structure, and the length of the edge of the unit cell is 4.086 108 cm. Calculate the density of this solid.
Silicon carbide, SiC, is a very hard, high-melting solid. What kind of crystal forces account for these properties?
Phase diagrams for materials that have allotropes can be more complicated than those shown in the chapter. Use the phase diagram for carbon given here to answer the following questions. (a) How many triple points are present and what phases are in equilibrium for each? (b) Is there a single point where all four phases are in equilibrium? (c) Which is more stable at high pressures, diamond or graphite? (d) Which is the stable phase of carbon at room temperature and 1 atmosphere pressure?
Satellites in space often suffer from vacuum welding, in which two metal parts in contact tend to stick together more than expected over a period of time. Why does this phenomenon occur in space and not on Earth?

25 > Three liquid samples of known masses are heated to their boiling points with the use of a heater rated at 475.0 W. Once the boiling points of each sample are reached, the samples are heated for an additional 4.60 min, which results in the vaporization of some of each sample. After 4.60 min, the samples are cooled and the masses of the remaining liquids are determined. The process is performed at constant pressure. The results are recorded in the table.

A piece of solid lead weighing 45.2 g at a temperature of 317 °C is placed in 452 g of liquid leadat a temperature of 371 °C. After a while, the solid melts and a completely liquid sample remains. Calculate the temperature after thermal equilibrium is reached, assuming no heat loss to the surroundings. The enthalpy of fusion of solid lead is ΔHfus = 4.77 kJ/mol at its melting point of 328 °C, and the molar heat capacities for solid and liquid lead are Csolid = 26.9 J/mol K and Cliquid = 28.6 J/mol K.
