The solar corona is a very hot atmosphere surrounding the visible surface of the sun. X-ray emissions from the corona show that its temperature is about . The gas pressure in the corona is about . Estimate the number density of particles in the solar corona.
a. 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.
A nebula—a region of the galaxy where new stars are forming—contains a very tenuous gas with . This gas is heated to by ultraviolet radiation from nearby stars. What is the gas pressure in atm?
Rank in order, from highest to lowest, the temperatures
T1 = 0 K, T2 = 0 C, and T3 = 0 F.
