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.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Measured heat capacities of solids and liquids are almost always at constant pressure, not constant volume. To see why, estimate the pressure needed to keep Vfixed as Tincreases, as follows.

(a) First imagine slightly increasing the temperature of a material at constant pressure. Write the change in volume,dV1, in terms of dTand the thermal expansion coefficient introduced in Problem 1.7.

(b) Now imagine slightly compressing the material, holding its temperature fixed. Write the change in volume for this process, dV2, in terms of dPand the isothermal compressibility T, defined as

T1VVPT

(c) Finally, imagine that you compress the material just enough in part (b) to offset the expansion in part (a). Then the ratio of dPtodTis equal to (P/T)V, since there is no net change in volume. Express this partial derivative in terms of andT. Then express it more abstractly in terms of the partial derivatives used to define andT. For the second expression you should obtain

PTV=(V/T)P(V/P)T

This result is actually a purely mathematical relation, true for any three quantities that are related in such a way that any two determine the third.

(d) Compute ,T,and(P/T)Vfor an ideal gas, and check that the three expressions satisfy the identity you found in part (c).

(e) For water at 25C,=2.57104K1andT=4.521010Pa1. Suppose you increase the temperature of some water from 20Cto30C. How much pressure must you apply to prevent it from expanding? Repeat the calculation for mercury, for which (at25C)=1.81104K1andT=4.041011Pa1

Given the choice, would you rather measure the heat capacities of these substances at constant vor at constant p?

Calculate the total thermal energy in a gram of lead at room temperature, assuming that none of the degrees of freedom are "frozen out" (this happens to be a good assumption in this case).

Put a few spoonfuls of water into a bottle with a tight lid. Make sure everything is at room temperature, measuring the temperature of the water with a thermometer to make sure. Now close the bottle and shake it as hard as you can for several minutes. When you're exhausted and ready to drop, shake it for several minutes more. Then measure the temperature again. Make a rough calculation of the expected temperature change, and compare.

An ideal diatomic gas, in a cylinder with a movable piston, undergoes the rectangular cyclic process shown in Figure 1.10(b). Assume that the temperature is always such that rotational degrees of freedom are active, but vibrational modes are 鈥渇rozen out.鈥 Also, assume that the only type of work done on the gas is quasistatic compression-expansion work.

  1. For each of the four steps A through D, compute the work done on the gas, the heat added to the gas, and the change in the energy content of the gas. Express all answers in terms of P1, P2, V1, and V2. (Hint: Compute role="math" localid="1651641251162" Ubefore Q, using the ideal gas law and the equipartition theorem.)
  2. Describe in words what is physically being done during each of the four steps; for example, during step A, heat is added to the gas (from an external flame or something) while the piston is held fixed.
  3. Compute the net work done on the gas, the net heat added to the gas, and the net change in the energy of the gas during the entire cycle. Are the results as you expected? Explain briefly.

For a solid, we also define the linear thermal expansion coefficient, 伪, as the fractional increase in length per degree:

L/LT
(a) For steel, 伪 is 1.1 x 10-5 K-1. Estimate the total variation in length of a 1 km steel bridge between a cold winter night and a hot summer day.
(b) The dial thermometer in Figure 1.2 uses a coiled metal strip made of two different metals laminated together. Explain how this works.
(c) Prove that the volume thermal expansion coefficient of a solid is equal to the sum of its linear expansion coefficients in the three directions 尾=伪x + 伪y + 伪z. (So for an isotropic solid, which expands the same in all directions, 尾 =3 伪 .)
