    A student made a copper bracelet by hammering a small copper bar into the desired shape. The bracelet has a mass of 30.1 grams and was at a temperature of 21°C in the classroom. After the student wore the bracelet, the bracelet reached a temperature of 33°C. Later, the student removed the bracelet and placed it on a desk at home, where it cooled from 33°C to 19°C. The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 J/g•K.

    Paintball is a popular recreational activity that uses a metal tank of compressed carbon dioxide or nitrogen to launch small capsules of paint. A typical tank has a volume of 508 cubic centimeters. A 340.-gram sample of carbon dioxide is added to the tank before it is used for paintball. At 20.°C, this tank contains both CO2(g) and CO2(ℓ). After a paintball game, the tank contains only CO2(g).
