Even at rest, the human body generates heat. The heat arises because of the body's metabolism - that is, the chemical reactions that are always occurring in the body to generate energy. In rooms designed for use by large groups, adequate ventilation or air conditioning must be provided to remove this heat. Consider a classroom containing 138 students. Assume that the metabolic rate of generating heat is 128 W for each student and that the heat accumulates during a 60-minute lecture. In addition, assume that the air has a molar specific heat of CV = 5/2R and that the room (volume = 1190 m^3, initial pressure = 1.01 x 10^5 Pa, and initial temperature = 21.0 °C) is sealed shut. If all the heat generated by the students were absorbed by the air, by how much would the air temperature rise?

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ºc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth. (answer in ×10^{-3} −3 m)
