Get started for freea. A sample of water vapour in an enclosed cylinder has an initial pressure of 500 Pa at an initial temperature of -0.01°C. A piston squeezes the sample smaller and smaller, without limit. Describe what happens to the water as the squeezing progresses.
b. Repeat part a if the initial temperature is 0.03°C warmer.
The molecular mass of water (H2O) is A = 18. How many protons are there in 1.0 L of liquid water?
A brass ring with inner diameter 2.00 cm and outer diameter 3.00 cm needs to fit over a 2.00-cm-diameter steel rod, but at 20C the hole through the brass ring is 50 mm too small in diameter. To what temperature, inC, must the rod and ring be heated so that the ring just barely slips over the rod?
The lowest and highest natural temperatures ever recorded on earth are -129°F in Antarctica and 134°F in Death Valley. What are these temperatures in °C and in K?
To determine the mass of neon contained in a rigid, cylinder, you vary the cylinder’s temperature while recording the reading of a pressure gauge. Your data are as follows:
Temperature (°C) | Pressure gauge (atm) |
100 | 6.52 |
150 | 7.80 |
200 | 8.83 |
250 | 9.59 |
Use the best-fit line of an appropriate graph to determine the mass of the neon.
