Q: How much heat is required to raise the temperature of a 0.500 kg aluminum pan ($$c_{\mathrm{Al}} = 900 \ \mathrm{J}/\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}) $$and 0.250 kg of water ($$c_{\mathrm{water}} = 4186 \ \mathrm{J}/\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}) $$from 20 ºC to 80 ºC?

$$Q = 0.5 \times 900 \times 60 + 0.25 \times 4186 \times 60 = 27,000 + 62,790 = 89,790 \ \mathrm{J}$$

Q: Calculate the number of molecules in 1 m³ of an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP: 0ºC, 1 atm). ($$k = 1.38 \times 10$$^{-23}$$ \ \mathrm{J/K}$$, $$P = 1.01 \times 10^5$ \ \mathrm{N/m}^2$$, $$T = 273 \ \mathrm{K})$$

$$2.68 \times 10$$^{25}$$ molecules
