Get started for free80 J of work are done on the gas in the process shown in Figure EX19.3. What is V1 in cm3 ?
Most stars are main-sequence stars, a group of stars for which size, mass, surface temperature, and radiated power are closely related. The sun, for instance, is a yellow main-sequence star with a surface temperature of . For a main-sequence star whose mass is more than twice that of the sun, the total radiated power, relative to the sun, is approximately . The star Regulus is a bluish main-sequence star with mass and radius . What is the surface temperature of Regulus ?
A diameter cylinder of nitrogen gas has a -thick movable copper piston. The cylinder is oriented vertically, as shown in FIGURE P19.50, and the air above the piston is evacuated. When the gas temperature isthe piston floats above the bottom of the cylinder.
a. What is the gas pressure?
b. How many gas molecules are in the cylinder? Then of heat energy are transferred to the gas.
c. What is the new equilibrium temperature of the gas?
d. What is the final height of the piston?
e. How much work is done on the gas as the piston rises?
A 5.0 g ice cube at -20°C is in a rigid, sealed container from which all the air has been evacuated. How much heat is required to change this ice cube into steam at 200°C? Steam has CV = 1500 J/kgK and CP = 1960 J/kgK
500 J of work must be done to compress a gas to half its initial volume at constant temperature. How much work must be done to compress the gas by a factor of 10, starting from its initial volume?
