Chapter 19: Q. 9 (page 542)

The gas cylinder in Figure Q19.9 is a rigid container that is well insulated except for the bottom surface, which is in contact with a block of ice. The initial gas temperature is 7 0°C.

a. During the process that occurs until the gas reaches a new equilibrium, are (i) ∆T, (ii) W, and (iii) Q greater than, less than, or equal to zero? Explain.

b. Draw a pV diagram showing the process

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Less than zero.

b. Zero

c. Less than zero

Step by step solution

01

Definition the relation between work done and volume.

In a system, if the work done is zero then the system has no volume.

02

Finding  the  heat in the gas cylinder.

a. As the gas is cooled, the rate of change of temperatures is zero.

b. As there is no work done, the volume is not changed.

c. The value of Q is less than zero as the energy transfer to environment.

52. An ideal-gas process is described by p=cV1/2, where cis a CALC constant.

a. Find an expression for the work done on the gas in this process as the volume changes from V1to V2.

b. 0.033molof gas at an initial temperature of 150°Cis compressed, using this process, from 300cm3to 200cm3. How much work is done on the gas?

c. What is the final temperature of the gas in C∘?

Two cars collide head-on while each is traveling at 80 km/h.

Suppose all their kinetic energy is transformed into the thermal

energy of the wrecks. What is the temperature increase of each

car? You can assume that each car’s specific heat is that of iron.

A 65 cm3 block of iron is removed from an 800°C furnace and

immediately dropped into 200 mL of 20°C water. What fraction

of the water boils away?

Two containers hold equal masses of nitrogen gas at equal temperatures. You supply 10 J of heat to container A while not allowing its volume to change, and you supply 10 J of heat to container B while not allowing its pressure to change. Afterward, is temperature TA greater than, less than, or equal to TB? Explain.

A satellite to reflect radar is a 2.0-m-diameter, 2.0-mm-thick spherical copper shell. While orbiting the earth, the satellite absorbs sunlight and is warmed to 50°C. When it passes into the earth's shadow, the satellite radiates energy to deep space. The temperature of deep space is actually 3K, as a result of the Big Bang 14 billion years ago, but it is so much colder than the satellite that you can assume a deep-space temperature of 0K. If the satellite's emissivity is 0.75, to what temperature, in C∘, will it drop during the 45 minutes it takes to move through the earth's shadow?
