It is possible for a mixture of hot water (90 °C) and ice to have a final equilibrium temperature of 0 °C
What will be an ideal response?
Absolutely. It depends on the masses of ice and water. The energy lost by the hot
water is m
hot water x [4186 J/(kg °C)] x (90 °C) = mhot water x 377 kJ. The energy gained
by the ice is mice x 333 kJ/kg. As long as mhot water x 377 kJ < mice x 333 kJ/kg the
system will remain at 0 °C.

The great contribution of Tycho Brahe was to
A) observe planetary positions with sufficient accuracy that later enabled Kepler to discover the laws of planetary motion. B) discover four moons orbiting Jupiter, thereby lending strong support to the idea that the Earth is not the center of the universe. C) offer the first detailed model of a Sun-centered solar system, thereby beginning the process of overturning the Earth-centered model of the Greeks. D) discover that planets orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits with varying speed.
