Chapter 14: Problem 25

A cylinder contains 250 L of hydrogen gas \(\left(\mathrm{H}_{2}\right)\) at \(0.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and a pressure of 10.0 atm. How much energy is required to raise the temperature of this gas to \(25.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: The energy required to raise the temperature of the hydrogen gas to 25.0°C is approximately 8126.9 Joules.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the number of moles of hydrogen gas

Molar volume of a gas (\(V_m\)) at standard temperature and pressure is 22.4 L. n = (Volume of the gas in liters) / (Molar volume of a gas in liters) n = 250 / 22.4 = 11.16 moles of hydrogen gas
02

Calculate the initial and final temperatures in Kelvin

Convert the given temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin using the formula: K = °C + 273.15 T_initial = 0.0 + 273.15 = 273.15 K T_final = 25.0 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
03

Determine the specific heat capacity for hydrogen gas

The specific heat capacity at constant pressure (\(C_p\)) for diatomic molecules like hydrogen gas is given by \(C_p = \frac{7}{2}R\), where \(R\) is the universal gas constant (8.314 J/mol K) C_p = (7/2) * 8.314 = 29.1 J/mol K
04

Calculate the energy required to raise the temperature of the gas

Using the formula for energy, \(q = nC_{p}\Delta T\): \(\Delta T = T_{final} - T_{initial} = 298.15 - 273.15 = 25\) K q = (11.16 mol) * (29.1 J/mol K) * (25 K) q = 8126.9 J The energy required to raise the temperature of the hydrogen gas to \(25.0^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) is approximately 8126.9 Joules.

An incandescent light bulb radiates at a rate of \(60.0 \mathrm{W}\) when the temperature of its filament is \(2820 \mathrm{K}\). During a brownout (temporary drop in line voltage), the power radiated drops to \(58.0 \mathrm{W} .\) What is the temperature of the filament? Neglect changes in the filament's length and cross-sectional area due to the temperature change. (tutorial: light bulb)
A 2.0 -kg block of copper at \(100.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is placed into $1.0 \mathrm{kg}$ of water in a 2.0 -kg iron pot. The water and the iron pot are at \(25.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) just before the copper block is placed into the pot. What is the final temperature of the water, assuming negligible heat flow to the environment?
For a cheetah, \(70.0 \%\) of the energy expended during exertion is internal work done on the cheetah's system and is dissipated within his body; for a dog only \(5.00 \%\) of the energy expended is dissipated within the dog's body. Assume that both animals expend the same total amount of energy during exertion, both have the same heat capacity, and the cheetah is 2.00 times as heavy as the dog. (a) How much higher is the temperature change of the cheetah compared to the temperature change of the dog? (b) If they both start out at an initial temperature of \(35.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) and the cheetah has a temperature of \(40.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) after the exertion, what is the final temperature of the dog? Which animal probably has more endurance? Explain.
An \(83-\mathrm{kg}\) man eats a banana of energy content $1.00 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{kcal} .$ If all of the energy from the banana is converted into kinetic energy of the man, how fast is he moving, assuming he starts from rest?
What mass of water at \(25.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) added to a Styrofoam cup containing two 50.0 -g ice cubes from a freezer at \(-15.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) will result in a final temperature of \(5.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) for the drink?
