How many grams of ice at 0° C will be melted in bringing down a 64 kg patient's fever from 40°C to 39° C? If a person has a dangerously high fever, submerging her in ice water is a bad idea, but an ice pack can help to quickly bring her body temperature down. You may want to review (Page). Express your answer using two significant figures.

Unreasonable results. (a) Find the temperature of 0.360 kg of water, modeled as an ideal gas, at a pressure of 1.01105 Pa if it has a volume of 0.615 m3. (b) What is unreasonable about this answer? How could you get a better answer?
Calculate the length of a 1-meter rod of a material with thermal expansion coefficient a when the temperature is raised from 300 K to 600 K. Taking your answer as the new initial length, find the length after the rod is cooled back down to 300 K. Is your answer 1 meter? Should it be? How can you account for the result you got?
A construction worker uses a steel tape to measure the length of an aluminum support column. If the measured length is 18.700 m when the temperature is 21.2C, what is the measured length when the temperature rises to 29.4C? Note: Dont neglect the expansion of the tape.
(a) Find the density in SI units of air at a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 20 , assuming that air is 78% N2, 21% O2, and 1% Ar, (b) Find the density of the atmosphere on Venus, assuming that it's 96% CO2 and 4% N2, with a temperature of 737 K and a pressure of 92.0 atm.
In a common demonstration, a bottle is heated and stoppered with a hard-boiled egg that's a little bigger than the bottle's neck. When the bottle is cooled, the pressure difference between inside and outside forces the egg into the bottle. Suppose the bottle has a volume of 0.500 L and the temperature inside it is raised to 80.0 while the pressure remains constant at 1.00 atm because the bottle is open. (a) How many moles of air are inside? (b) Now the egg is put in place, sealing the bottle. What is the gauge pressure inside after the air cools back to the ambient temperature of 25 but before the egg is forced into the bottle ?

In car racing, one advantage of mixing liquid nitrous oxide (N2O) with air is that the boiling of the "nitrous" absorbs latent heat of vaporization and thus cools the air and ultimately the fuel-air mixture, allowing more fuel-air mixture to go into each cylinder. As a very rough look at this process, suppose 1.0 mol of nitrous oxide gas at its boiling point, 88 , is mixed with 4.0 mol of air (assumed diatomic) at 30 . What is the final temperature of the mixture? Use the measured heat capacity of N2O at 25 , which is 30.4J/mol . (The primary advantage of nitrous oxide is that it consists of 1/3 oxygen, which is more than air contains, so it supplies more oxygen >to bum the fuel. Another advantage is that its decomposition into nitrogen and oxygen releases energy in the cylinder.)
A warms transfers energy by conduction through its blubber at the rate of 150 W when immersed in 1.00 water. The walrus's internal core temperature is 37.0 and it has a surface area of 2.00 m2. What is the average thickness of its blubber, which has the conductivity of fatty tissues without blood?
