Q18.23 The discussion in Section 18.4 concluded that all ideal monatomic gases have the same heat capacity . Does this mean that it takes the same amount of heat to raise the temperature of 1.0gof each one by1.0K?Explain your reasoning.
A student asserts that a suitable unit for specific heat is . Is she correct? Why or why not?
The gas used in separating the two uranium isotopesandhave the formula. If you added heat at equal rates to a mole ofgas and a mole ofgas, which one’s temperature would you expect to rise faster? Explain.
A constant-volume gas thermometer registers an absolute pressure corresponding to 325 mm of mercury when in contact with water at the triple point. What pressure does it read when in contact with water at the normal boiling point?
A cylindrical tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume of the tank to be changed. The tank originally contains 0.110 m3of air at a pressure of 0.355 atm. The piston is slowly pulled out until the volume of the gas is increased to 0.390 m3. If the temperature remains constant, what is the final value of the pressure?
