Chapter 1: Q. 1.28 (page 20)

Estimate how long it should take to bring a cup of water to boiling temperature in a typical 600 -watt microwave oven, assuming that all the energy ends up in the water. (Assume any reasonable initial temperature for the water.) Explain why no heat is involved in this process.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Time taken will be approx: 157 sec

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Power P = 600 W

Boiling temp = 100oC

02

Explanation

Energy required to raise the temperature of the water is calculated by

Q=mC螖T..................................(1)

Where

m= mass of water

C= Specific heat = 4186 J/KgK

螖T = Change in temp

Power is calculated by

P=Qtrearranget=QP.......................................(2)

From (1) and (2) we can find

t=mC鈭�TP.......................................(3)

Substitute values and calculate

Assume water in cup is 250 g = 0.25 kg

t=mC鈭�TP=(0.25kg)脳(4186J/kgK)脳(90K)600Wt=156.975s鈮�157s.

It will take 157 sec.

Calculate the total thermal energy in a liter of helium at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Then repeat the calculation for a liter of air.


Suppose you open a bottle of perfume at one end of a room. Very roughly, how much time would pass before a person at the other end of the room could smell the perfume, if diffusion were the only transport mechanism? Do you think diffusion is the dominant transport mechanism in this situation?

A cup containing 200g of water is sitting on your dining room table. After carefully measuring its temperature to be 20oC, you leave the room. Returning ten minutes later, you measure its temperature again and find that it is now 25oC. What can you conclude about the amount of heat added to the water? (Hint: This is a trick question.)

If you poke a hole in a container full of gas, the gas will start leaking out. In this problem, you will make a rough estimate of the rate at which gas escapes through a hole. (This process is called effusion, at least when the hole is sufficiently small.)

  1. Consider a small portion (area = A) of the inside wall of a container full of gas. Show that the number of molecules colliding with this surface in a time interval 螖tis role="math" localid="1651729685802" PA螖t/(2mvx炉), where width="12" height="19" role="math">Pis the pressure, is the average molecular mass, and vxis the average xvelocity of those molecules that collide with the wall.
  2. It's not easy to calculate vx, but a good enough approximation is (vx2炉)1/2, where the bar now represents an average overall molecule in the gas. Show that (vx2炉)1/2=kT/m.
  3. If we now take away this small part of the wall of the container, the molecules that would have collided with it will instead escape through the hole. Assuming that nothing enters through the hole, show that the number Nof molecules inside the container as a function of time is governed by the differential equation
    dNdt=鈭�A2VkTmN
    Solve this equation (assuming constant temperature) to obtain a formula of the form N(t)=N(0)e鈭�t/r, where ris the 鈥渃haracteristic time鈥� for N(and P) to drop by a factor of e.
  4. Calculate the characteristic time for gas to escape from a 1-liter container punctured by a 1-mm2? hole.
  5. Your bicycle tire has a slow leak so that it goes flat within about an hour after being inflated. Roughly how big is the hole? (Use any reasonable estimate for the volume of the tire.)
  6. In Jules Verne鈥檚 Around the Moon, the space travelers dispose of a dog's corpse by quickly opening a window, tossing it out, and closing the window. Do you think they can do this quickly enough to prevent a significant amount of air from escaping? Justify your answer with some rough estimates and calculations.
