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

  1. Sketch a graph of pressure vs. volume for this process.
  2. Calculate the work done on the gas during this process, assuming that there are no 鈥渙ther鈥 types of work being done.
  3. Calculate the change in the helium鈥檚 energy content during this process.
  4. Calculate the amount of heat added to or removed from the helium during this process.
  5. Describe what you might do to cause the pressure to rise as the helium expands.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The graph between pressure and volume is a straight line but does not pass through the origin.
  2. Work done on the gas is W=405.2鈥塉.
  3. Change in helium鈥檚 energy is U=1216.05鈥塉.
  4. The amount of heat added is Q=1621.25鈥塉.
  5. Pressure increases when kinetic energy increases. To increase pressure, kinetic should be increased and finally, it is concluded that one has to increase the temperature to increase pressure.

Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. Introduction.

The 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 a straight line but does not pass through the origin.

02

Part a. Step 2. Explanation.

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 does not pass through the origin. The required graph between pressure and volume is shown below:

03

Part a. Step 3. Conclusion.

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

Part b. Step 1. Given.

Initial volume isVi=1鈥塴颈迟别谤

Final volume isVf=3鈥塴颈迟别谤

Initial pressure isPi=1鈥塧迟尘

05

Part b. Step 2. Formula used.

Expression for work done on the system is

W=vivfPdV 鈥︹ (1)

Here Pis the pressure, Vi鈥塧苍诲鈥夆赌Vfare initial volume, and final volume.

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

PV 鈥︹ (2)

P=VA 鈥︹ (3)

Here Ais the proportionality constant.

06

Part b. Step 3. Calculation.

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

PiVi=A 鈥︹ (4)

And

PfVf=A 鈥︹ (5)

From equations (4) and (5)

PiVi=PfVf

Pf=PiVfVi 鈥︹ (6)

Substitute1103forViand3103forVfand1.013105forPiin equation (6)

Pf=31031.0131051103Pf=3.04105鈥塒补

In the graph between pressure and volume, the slope is calculated as

A=PfPiVfVi 鈥︹ (7)

Substitute 1103forViand3103for Vf,1.013105forPiand3.04105forPfin equation (7)

A=3.041051.0131053103103A=1.013108鈥塒补.m-3

Hence the relation between pressure and volume is

P=1.013108V 鈥.. (8)

Substitute1.013108VforPin equation (1)

W=vivf1.013108V.dV 鈥︹ (9)

Again substitute the upper and lower limit of the above integral i.e. 1103for Viand 3103for Vfin equation (9)

W=10331031.013108V.dVW=1.0131081033103V.dVW=1.013108V221033103W=405.2鈥塉

07

Part b. Step 4. Conclusion.

Hence, work done on the gas is W=405.2鈥塉.

08

Part c. Step 1. Given.

Initial volume and final volume are1103and3103respectively and initial and final pressure are1.013105and3.04105respectively.

09

Part c. Step 2. Formula used.

Thermal energy can be expressed as

Uthermal=Nf12kT 鈥︹ (10)

Here, fstands for the degree of freedom, Nstands for a number of molecules, kstands for Boltzmann constant, and Tstands for temperature in Kelvin.

The equation of ideal gas is

PV=NkT 鈥︹ (11)

Here, Pis the pressure of the gas, Vis the volume of gas contained, kis Boltzmann constant, Tis the temperature in Kelvin and Nis the number of molecules.

10

Part c. Step 3. Calculation.

Equation (10) can be simplified as by substitutePVforNkT

Uthermal=f2PV 鈥︹ (12)

Change in thermal energy due to expansion is

U=PfVfPiVi 鈥︹ (13)

Equation (12) can be written as a substitutePfVfPiVifor U

U=32PV=32.PfVfPiVi 鈥︹ (14)

Substitute 1103for Viand 3103for Vf,1.013105forPiand3.04105forPfin equation (14)

U=323.0410531031.013105103U=1216.05鈥塉

11

Part c. Step 4. Conclusion.

Hence, a change in helium鈥檚 energy is U=1216.05鈥塉.

12

Part d. Step 1. Given.

Change in energy isU=1216.05鈥塉and work done is W=405.2鈥塉.

13

Part d. Step 2. Formula used.

The equation for the first law of thermodynamics is
Q=UW 鈥︹ (15)

Where Qis the amount of heat added or removed, Uis a change in internal energy, Wand is external work done

14

Part d. Step 3. Calculation.

Substitute1216.05鈥塉forUand405.2鈥塉forWin equation (15)

Q=1216.05+405.2鈥塉

Q=1621.25鈥塉

Since the sign ofQis positive so heat is added to the system.

15

Part d. Step 4. Conclusion.

Hence, the amount of heat added is Q=1621.25鈥塉.

16

Part e. Step 1. Introduction

The motion of a body is related to the change in kinetic energy of the body. The kinetic energy of the body is directly proportional to the change in temperature of the body.

17

Part e. Step 2. Explanation.

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature. Similarly, pressure is also directly proportional to kinetic energy. So, it can be concluded that pressure is also proportional to temperature. Basically, to increase pressure, one has to increase temperature.

18

Part e. Step 3. Conclusion.

Hence, to increase pressure, one has to increase the temperature.

During a hailstorm, hailstones with an average mass of 2g and a speed of 15 m/s strike a window pane at a 45o angle. The area of the window is 0.5 m2 and the hailstones hit it at a rate of 30 per second. What average pressure do they exert on the window? How does this compare to the pressure of the atmosphere?


Given an example to illustrate why you cannot accurately judge the temperature of an object by how hot or cold it feels to the touch?

Give an example of a process in which no heat is added to a system, but its temperature increases. Then give an example of the opposite: a process in which heat is added to a system but its temperature does not change.

By applying Newton鈥檚 laws to the oscillations of a continuous medium, one can show that the speed of a sound wave is given by

cs=B,

where is the density of the medium (mass per unit volume) and B is the bulk modulus, a measure of the medium鈥檚 stiffness? More precisely, if we imagine applying an increase in pressure Pto a chunk of the material, and this increase results in a (negative) change in volume V, then B is defined as the change in pressure divided by the magnitude of the fractional change in volume:

B=PV/V

This definition is still ambiguous, however, because I haven't said whether the compression is to take place isothermally or adiabatically (or in some other way).

  1. Compute the bulk modulus of an ideal gas, in terms of its pressure P, for both isothermal and adiabatic compressions.
  2. Argue that for purposes of computing the speed of a sound wave, the adiabatic B is the one we should use.
  3. Derive an expression for the speed of sound in an ideal gas, in terms of its temperature and average molecular mass. Compare your result to the formula for the RMS speed of the molecules in the gas. Evaluate the speed of sound numerically for air at room temperature.
  4. When Scotland鈥檚 Battlefield Band played in Utah, one musician remarked that the high altitude threw their bagpipes out of tune. Would you expect altitude to affect the speed of sound (and hence the frequencies of the standing waves in the pipes)? If so, in which direction? If not, why not?

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.
