Bottles of perfume sometimes have thick glass (n = 1.5) walls which give the impression the volume is larger than it is. Assume a cylindrical bottle has an inner radius of 1.0 cm and an outer radius of 2.0 cm. How thick (in cm) would the wall appear if you could see a mark on the inside surface?

a. 0.80
b. 0.51
c. 0.72
d. 80

Calorimetry: How many grams of ice at -17°C must be added to 741 grams of water that is initially at a temperature of 70°C to produce water at a final temperature of 12°C. Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings and that the container has negligible mass. The specific heat of liquid water is 4190 J/kg ? C° and of ice is 2000 J/kg ? C°. For water the normal melting point is 0°C and the heat of fusion is 334 × 103 J/kg. The normal boiling point is 100°C and the heat of vaporization is 2.256 × 106 J/kg.
