Chapter 3: Q78P (page 615)

.. CALC Calculate the integral in Eq. (18.30), and compare this result to as given by Eq. (18.35). (Hint:Make the change of variable and use the tabulated integral

where nis a positive integer and is a positive constant.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

By comparing the result with equation 18.33 we get the same result where the average speed of the molecule will be given by

Step by step solution

01

Determine the integral Equation and compare the result

As given

Bydifferentiatetheequation

Integrate theequation

Solve for the integral Equation

Therefore by comparing the result with (equation 18.33) we get the same result where the average speed of the molecule will be given by

The gas inside a balloon will always have a pressure nearly equal to atmospheric pressure since that is the pressure applied to the outside of the balloon. You fill a balloon with helium (a nearly ideal gas) to a volume of 0.600 L at 19.0°C. What is the volume of the balloon if you cool it to the boiling point of liquid nitrogen (77.3 K)?

Imagine a special air filter placed in a window of a house. The tiny holes in the filter allow only air molecules moving faster than a certain speed to exit the house, and allow only air molecules moving slower than that speed to enter the house from outside. What effect would this filter have on the temperature inside the house? (It turns out that the second law of thermodynamics—which we will discuss in Chapter 20—tells us that such a wonderful air filter would be impossible to make.)

A liquid is irregularly stirred in a well-insulated container and thereby undergoes a rise in temperature. Regard the liquid as the system. Has heat been transferred? How can you tell? Has work been done? How can you tell? Why is it important that the stirring is irregular? What is the sign of ∆U? How can you tell?

Some folks claim that ice cubes freeze faster if the trays are filled with hot water, because hot water cools off faster than cold water . What do you think?

The free expansion of an ideal gas is an adiabatic process and so no heat is transferred. No work is done, so the internal energy does not change. Thus,QT=0, yet the randomness of the system and thus its entropy have increased after the expansion. Why does Eq.(20.19)not apply to this situation?
