Put a few spoonfuls of water into a bottle with a tight lid. Make sure everything is at room temperature, measuring the temperature of the water with a thermometer to make sure. Now close the bottle and shake it as hard as you can for several minutes. When you're exhausted and ready to drop, shake it for several minutes more. Then measure the temperature again. Make a rough calculation of the expected temperature change, and compare.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The expected Temperature isΔT=0.05K.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1.  The assumption from the given question.

There is room temperature water in the bottle. The goal is to predict how much the temperature of the water will drop in a few minutes of shaking the container.

Start with some assumptions. If you try to shake the bottle3times in a second, you will succeed. So it 3times up and3times down, for a total of 6moves. If you pay closer attention to the shaking, you'll see that the distance between each up and down movement is around20cm.

Step 2. Energy equation.

Energy equation,

12·v2=C·ΔT

Need to find Specific heatC.

C=4.18kJmolK

So,

localid="1648469974559" role="math" ΔT=v22·C=1.222·4180=1.72·104s

To figure out how much it will change in a matter of minutes. Let's say5minutes have passed. After5minutes, calculate the temperature change.

Determine the Kelvin temperature for each of the following:

(a) human body temperature;

(b) the boiling point of water(at the standard pressure of 1 atm);

(c) the coldest day u can remember;

(d) the boiling point of liquid nitrogen(-196°C);

(e) the melting point of lead(327°C)

Calculate the rms speed of a nitrogen molecule at room temperature.

Give an example of a process in which no heat is added to a system, but its temperature increases. Then give an example of the opposite: a process in which heat is added to a system but its temperature does not change.

Does it ever make sense to say that one object is "twice as hot" as another? Does it matter whether one is referring to Celsius or Kelvin temperatures? Explain.

Even at low density, real gases don’t quite obey the ideal gas law. A systematic way to account for deviations from ideal behavior is the virial

expansion,

PVnRT(1+B(T)(V/n)+C(T)(V/n)2+)

where the functions B(T), C(T), and so on are called the virial coefficients. When the density of the gas is fairly low, so that the volume per mole is large, each term in the series is much smaller than the one before. In many situations, it’s sufficient to omit the third term and concentrate on the second, whose coefficient B(T)is called the second virial coefficient (the first coefficient is 1). Here are some measured values of the second virial coefficient for nitrogen (N2):

T(K)
B(cm3/mol)
100–160
200–35
300–4.2
4009.0
50016.9
60021.3
  1. For each temperature in the table, compute the second term in the virial equation, B(T)/(V/n), for nitrogen at atmospheric pressure. Discuss the validity of the ideal gas law under these conditions.
  2. Think about the forces between molecules, and explain why we might expect B(T)to be negative at low temperatures but positive at high temperatures.
  3. Any proposed relation between P, V, andT, like the ideal gas law or the virial equation, is called an equation of state. Another famous equation of state, which is qualitatively accurate even for dense fluids, is the van der Waals equation,
    (P+an2V2)(Vnb)=nRT
    where a and b are constants that depend on the type of gas. Calculate the second and third virial coefficients (Band C) for a gas obeying the van der Waals equation, in terms of aand b. (Hint: The binomial expansion says that (1+x)p1+px+12p(p1)x2, provided that |px|1. Apply this approximation to the quantity [1(nb/V)]1.)
  4. Plot a graph of the van der Waals prediction for B(T), choosing aand bso as to approximately match the data given above for nitrogen. Discuss the accuracy of the van der Waals equation over this range of conditions. (The van der Waals equation is discussed much further in Section 5.3.)
