List the states in decreasing order of the kinetic energy possessed by molecules of a
given substance.

A175 g lump of molten lead at its melting point (327 c) is placed into 55.0 g of water at 20.0 c. the specific heat of lead is 130.j/kg c and the hf of lead is 20,400 j/kg. when the lead and the water have reached equilibrium, what is the temperature of the mixture?

Consider an insulating crystal, made up of layers of atoms. what form would you expect the temperature dependence of the phonon heat capacity to approach at extremely low temperatures if the interlayer coupling is i)very strong (rigid coupling), and ii) very weak. explain.

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ºc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth.
