By applying a pressure of 200atm, you can compress water to 99%of its usual volume. Sketch this process (not necessarily to scale) on aPV diagram, and estimate the work required to compress a liter of water by this amount. Does the result surprise you?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Work done at constant pressure is W=202.65Jand at variable pressure work done is W=100.8J.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

By applying a pressure of 200atm,water can be compressed to99%of its usual volume.

02

Calculation

To obtain work done on the system :W=-∫VtvfPdV…...(1)

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

At a pressure of 200atm, the volume of the water is reduced to 99%of its value at atmospheric pressure 1atm.

Assume that the reduction in volume is linearly proportional to the increase in pressure.

The pressure is calculated as :P=AV+B…...(2)

Here A and B are constant, P is pressure and V is volume.

At P=1atm, the volume is V=Vo.

And at P=200atm, the volume is V=99Vo100.

Let's take the standard temperature and pressure, P=1atm, equation (2) can be written as by substitute VoforV

I=AVo+B.…..(3)

For P=200atm,equation (2) can be written as, by substituting 99Vo100forV

200=A99Vo100+B…...(4)

Solve equation (3) and (4) for the value of A and B

A=-19900Voatm.m-3B=19901atm.

Now equation (1) can be written as

P=-19900VoV+19901…..(5)

Work required to compress 1 liter of water to 99%can be found by :

W=-∫10-30.99×10-3PdV……(6)

localid="1651133444001" W=-∫10-30.99×10-3-2.016×1012V+2.016×109dVW=-2.016×1012V22+2.016×109V10-30.99×10-3

Substitute localid="1651133451713" 1litrefor V to solve A and B

localid="1651133447933" A=-199001×10-3.101325Paa1ammatm.m3A=-2.016×1012atm.m-3

And similarly, for B, localid="1651133455574" B=2.016×109atm

Substitute AV+B for P in equation (6)

localid="1651133459614" W=-∫10-30.99×10-3(AV+B)dV……(7)

Substitute localid="1651133463066" 2.016×109atmforBand-2.016×1012atmm-3forAinequation(7)

localid="1651133466748" W=-∫10-30.99×10-3-2.016×1012V+2.016×109dVW=-2.016×1012V22+2.016×109V10-30.99×10-3W=100.8J

If constant pressure of localid="1651133470929" 200atm=2.0265×107Pais considered,

Work done will be localid="1651133474496" W=-PΔV=-PVf-Vi…..(8)

Substitute localid="1651133477862" 0.99VoforVfandVoforViinequation(8)

localid="1651133481243" W=-P0.99Vo-Vo…..(9)

Again substitute localid="1651133484260" -2.0265×107forPand1×10-3forVoinequation

localid="1651133487776" W=-2.0265×107×-0.01VoW=2.0265×107×-0.01×10-3W=202.65J

And the graph between pressure and volume is shown below which is followed by equation (5)

Hence, at constant pressure work done is W=202.65Jand at variable pressure work done is W=100.8J.

03

Final answer

Work done at constant pressure is W=202.65J and at variable pressure work done isW=100.8J.

Look up the enthalpy of formation of atomic hydrogen in the back of this book. This is the enthalpy change when a mole of atomic hydrogen is formed by dissociating 1/2mole of molecular hydrogen (the more stable state of the element). From this number, determine the energy needed to dissociate a single H2molecule, in electron-volts.

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?

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.


In analogy with the thermal conductivity, derive an approximate formula for the viscosity of an ideal gas in terms of its density, mean free path, and average thermal speed. Show explicitly that the viscosity is independent of pressure and proportional to the square root of the temperature. Evaluate your formula numerically for air at room temperature and compare to the experimental value quoted in the text.

A frying pan is quickly heated on the stovetop 200∘CIt has an iron handle that is 20cmlong. Estimate how much time should pass before the end of the handle is too hot to grab with your bare hand. (Hint: The cross-sectional area of the handle doesn't matter. The density of iron is about7.9g/cm3and its specific heat is 0.45J/g⋅∘C).
