A large room in a house holds 927 kg of dry air at 31.2°C. A woman opens a window briefly and a cool breeze brings in an additional 60.4 kg of dry air at 14.2°C. At what temperature (in degrees Celsius) will the two air masses come into thermal equilibrium, assuming they form a closed system? (The specific heat of dry air is 1006 J/ kg * °C, although that value will cancel out of the calorimetry equation.)

You drop an ice cube into an insulated container full of water and wait for the ice cube to completely melt. The ice cube initially has a mass of 80.0 g and a temperature of 0°C. The water (before the ice cube is added) has a mass of 660 g and an initial temperature of 20.0°C. What is the final temperature (in °C) of the mixture? (Assume no energy is lost to the walls of the container, or to the...
