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

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,

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

Estimate the average temperature of the air inside a hot-air balloon (see Figure 1.1). Assume that the total mass of the unfilled balloon and payload is 500 kg. What is the mass of the air inside the balloon?

Your 200 g cup of tea is boiling-hot. About how much ice should you add to bring it down to a comfortable sipping temperature of 65°C? (Assume that the ice is initially 65°C. The specific heat capacity of ice isrole="math" localid="1650146844935" 0.5cal/g°C.

Calculate the total thermal energy in a gram of lead at room temperature, assuming that none of the degrees of freedom are "frozen out" (this happens to be a good assumption in this case).

Problem 1.49. Consider the combustion of one mole of H2with1/2 mole ofO2 under standard conditions, as discussed in the text. How much of the heat energy produced comes from a decrease in the internal energy of the system, and how much comes from work done by the collapsing atmosphere? (Treat the volume of the liquid water as negligible.)

Two identical bubbles of gas form at the bottom of a lake, then rise to the surface. Because the pressure is much lower at the surface than at the bottom, both bubbles expand as they rise. However, bubble A rises very quickly, so that no heat is exchanged between it and the water. Meanwhile, bubble B rises slowly (impeded by a tangle of seaweed), so that it always remains in thermal equilibrium with the water (which has the same temperature everywhere). Which of the two bubbles is larger by the time they reach the surface? Explain your reasoning fully.
