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.

Calculate the rms speed of a nitrogen molecule at room temperature.

Uranium has two common isotopes, with atomic masses of 238 and 235. one way to separate these isotopes is to combine the uranium with fluorine to make uranium hexafluoride gas, UF6, then exploit the difference in the average thermal speeds of molecules containing the different isotopes. Calculate the rms speed of each molecule at room temperature, and compare them.

Consider a uniform rod of material whose temperature varies only along its length, in the xdirection. By considering the heat flowing from both directions into a small segment of length x

derive the heat equation,

Tt=K2Tx2

where K=kt/ci, cis the specific heat of the material, and is its density. (Assume that the only motion of energy is heat conduction within the rod; no energy enters or leaves along the sides.) Assuming that Kis independent of temperature, show that a solution of the heat equation is

T(x,t)=T0+Atex2/4Kt,

where T0is a constant background temperature and Ais any constant. Sketch (or use a computer to plot) this solution as a function of x, for several values of t. Interpret this solution physically, and discuss in some detail how energy spreads through the rod as time passes.

Suppose you have a gas containing hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules, in thermal equilibrium. Which molecule are moving faster, on average? By what factor?

Problem 1.41. To measure the heat capacity of an object, all you usually have to do is put it in thermal contact with another object whose heat capacity you know. As an example, suppose that a chunk of metal is immersed in boiling water (100掳C), then is quickly transferred into a Styrofoam cup containing 250 g of water at 20掳C. After a minute or so, the temperature of the contents of the cup is 24掳C. Assume that during this time no significant energy is transferred between the contents of the cup and the surroundings. The heat capacity of the cup itself is negligible.

  1. How much heat is lost by the water?
  2. How much heat is gained by the metal?
  3. What is the heat capacity of this chunk of metal?
  4. If the mass of the chunk of metal is 100 g, what is its specific heat capacity?
