In an Experiment to Measure the Thermal Conductivity of a Certain

question 43

Multiple Choice

In an experiment to measure the thermal conductivity of a certain material,a slab of material 10.0 mm thick separates a steam chamber from a block of ice with a square cross-section with dimensions 8.00 cm × 8.00 cm.After 5.00 min of running the experiment,64.0 g of ice have melted.What is the thermal conductivity of this material? The latent heat of fusion of water is 33.5 × 10⁴ J/kg,the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.256 × 10⁶ J/kg,and both the ice and water are under 1.00 atm of pressure.

Definitions:

Range

The difference between the highest and lowest scores in a set of data, indicating the spread or variability of the dataset.

Distribution

In business, refers to the process of making a product or service available to the consumer or business user who needs it. In statistics, it describes the way in which values in a dataset are spread out.

Standard Deviation

A statistical measure that quantifies the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values from the mean.

Squared Deviation

A statistical measure showing the dispersion of data points. It represents the square of the difference between an observed value and the mean of the dataset.
