Imagine some helium in a cylinder with an initial volume of 1litreand an initial pressure of 1atm.Somehow the helium is made to expand to a final volume of 3litres,in such a way that its pressure rises in direct proportion to its volume.

(a) Sketch a graph of pressure vs. volume for this process.

(b) Calculate the work done on the gas during this process, assuming that there are no "other" types of work being done.

(c) Calculate the change in the helium's energy content during this process.

(d) Calculate the amount of heat added to or removed from the helium during this process.

(e) Describe what you might do to cause the pressure to rise as the helium expands.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The graph is :

b. Work done on the gas is,W=-405.2J.

c. Change in helium's energy is, U=1216.05J.

d. The amount of heat added to helium during this process is 1621.25J.

e. To increase the pressure as helium expands we have to increase the temperature.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Some helium in a cylinder with an initial volume of 1litreand an initial pressure of 1atm.Now, the helium is made to expand to a final volume of3litres, in such a way that its pressure rises in direct proportion to its volume.

02

Calculation

a. Pressure versus volume diagram can be drawn by taking pressure on y -axis and volume on x-axis. In this process, since the pressure is directly proportional to the volume so the final pressure vs. volume graph is straight line but not passing through origin.

Since the pressure is directly proportional to the volume of helium gas so for this process, the graph between pressure and volume is a straight line but not passing through origin. The required graph between pressure and volume is shown below:

Hence, the required graph between pressure and volume is a straight line but not passing through origin.

Continuation of calculation

W=-ivf1.013108V.dV..(9)b. Initial volume is Vi=1litre

Final volume is Vf=3litre

Initial pressure is Pi=1atm

Expression for work done on the system is :W=-vivfPdV..... (1)

Here P is pressure, ViandVfare initial volume and final volume.

Pressure is directly proportional to the volume as given i.e.

PV...(2)P=VA...(3)

Here A is proportionality constant.

From equation (3) it can be simplified as for initial and final case

ptVt=A..... (4)AndpfVt=A...... (5)

From equation (4) and (5)

PtVd=pfVfPf=PdVfVi(6)

Substitute :110-3forViand310-3forVfand1.013105forPiinequation(6)

In the graph between pressure and volume, slope is calculated as :A=pf-pfVf-Vf(7)

Substitute : 110-3forViand310-3forVf,1.013105forPland3.04105forPfinequation(7)

A=3.04103-1.013103310-3-10-3A=1.013108Pa-.m-3

Hence the relation between pressure and volume is : P=1.013108V(8)

Substitute : role="math" localid="1650445807757" 1.013108Vfor P in equation (1)

W=-ivf1.013108V.dV..(9)

Again substitute upper and lower limit of the above integral i.e.

110-3forViand310-3forVfinequation(9)

W=-10-3310-31.013108V.dVW=-1.01310810-3310-3V.dVW=-1.013108V2210-3310-3W=-405.2J

Hence, work done on the gas isW=-405.2J.

Estimate how long it should take to bring a cup of water to boiling temperature in a typical 600-wattmicrowave 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.

Pretend that you live in the 19th century and don't know the value of Avogadro's number* (or of Boltzmann's constant or of the mass or size of any molecule). Show how you could make a rough estimate of Avogadro's number from a measurement of the thermal conductivity of gas, together with other measurements that are relatively easy.

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 tis role="math" localid="1651729685802" PAt/(2mvx), 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)1/2, where the bar now represents an average overall molecule in the gas. Show that (vx2)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=A2VkTmN
    Solve this equation (assuming constant temperature) to obtain a formula of the form N(t)=N(0)et/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.

When you're sick with a fever and you take your temperature with a thermometer, approximately what is the relaxation time?

A battery is connected in series to a resistor, which is immersed in water (to prepare a nice hot cup of tea). Would you classify the flow of energy from the battery to the resistor as "heat" or "work"? What about the flow of energy from the resistor to the water?
