[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

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 βintroduced 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 κT, defined as

κT≡−1V∂V∂PT

(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 βandκT. Then express it more abstractly in terms of the partial derivatives used to define βandκT. For the second expression you should obtain

∂P∂TV=−(∂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 β,κT,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 25∘C,β=2.57×10−4K−1andκT=4.52×10−10Pa−1. Suppose you increase the temperature of some water from 20∘Cto30∘C. How much pressure must you apply to prevent it from expanding? Repeat the calculation for mercury, for which (at25∘C)β=1.81×10−4K−1andκT=4.04×10−11Pa−1

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

Short Answer

Expert verified

(A) The change in volume in dV1and thermal coefficient is dV1=βVdT

(B) The change in volume of dV2is dV2=−κTVdP

(C) The second expression is ∂P∂TV=−(∂V/∂T)P(∂V/∂P)T

(D) An ideal gas of three expression is β=1T,κT=1P.PT=βκT

(E) The heat capacities of substances constant isΔPwater=5.686×106Pa,ΔPmercury=4.48×107Pa

Step by step solution

01

Step :1  The thermal expansion coefficient (part a)

Substances' heat capacity can be determined at constant volume or constant pressure. It's relatively simple to assess a gas's heat capacity by enclosing it in a sealed container and keeping it at a constant volume. However, measuring heat capacity at constant pressure is much easier for solids and liquids. We can calculate how much pressure must be increased to prevent a solid or liquid from expanding when heated.

(a) The thermal expansion coefficient is:

β=ΔV/VΔT

Imagine that the substrate atmospheric temperature slightly at constant pressure, and the thermal expansion coefficient, which is a measure of the relative volume change with temperature at constant pressure, is:

β=ΔV/VΔT=1V∂V∂Tp→∂V∂Tp=βV

However, becauseVis a function of TandP,V(T,P), the volume change due to the differential:

dV=∂V∂PTdP+∂V∂TPdT

Equation (2) becomes: dp=0at constant pressure.

dV=∂V∂TPdT

Substitute (2)for (1)to get the following volume change:

dV1=βVdT

02

Step :2  Constant temperature (part b)

(b) Assume we compress a solid (or a liquid) slightly at constant temperature dT=0, resulting in equation (2):

dV=∂V∂PTdP

Given that the isothermal compressibility is the reciprocal of the bulk modulus:

κT=−1V∂V∂PT→∂V∂PT=−κTV

Substituting equation (5)into equation (4), the volume change is:

dV2=−κTVdP

03

Step :3 Change in volume after two action (part c)

(c) The net change in volume after the two actions in (a)and (b)is zero:

dV1+dV2=0→dV1=−dV2

Substitute

βVdT=κTVdP

→∂P∂TV=βκT

From (1)and(5)

∂P∂TV=βκy=1V∂V∂TΓ1V∂V∂PT

→∂P∂TV=−∂P∂TT∂V∂PT

→∂P∂TV=−(∂V/∂T)P(∂V/∂P)T

04

Step :4  Ideal gas law (part d)

(d) From the ideal gas law, PV=NkT, and using equation (5)and (1)we have:

β=1V∂V∂Tp=1V∂NkTP∂Tp

→β=NkPV=NkNkT=1T

κT=−1V∂V∂PT=−1V∂NkTP∂PT=NkTVP2

→κT=NkTVP2=NkT(VP)P=NkT(NkT)P=1P

Divide

→PT=βκT

Now from equation

∂P∂TV=βκT

→∂NkTV∂TV=βκT

→NkV=βκT

→PT=βκT

We can conclude that the results from (d), equation , and (c)equation , are identical.

05

Step :5  For water (part e)

(e) For water, the given values are:

β=2.57×10−4K−1κ=4.52×10−10Pa−1

So the pressure increase

PT=βκT→P=βκTT→ΔP=βκTΔT

But the temperature difference is

ΔT=Tf−Ti=30−20=10∘K

So the pressure difference is

ΔP=βκTΔT=2.57×10−44.52×10−10×10=5.686×106Pa

→ΔP=5.686×106Pa

For mercury the temperature range is

β=1.81×10−4K−1κ=4.04×10−11Pa−1

So the pressure increase must be

ΔP=βκTΔT=1.81×10−44.04×10−11×10→ΔP=4.48×107Pa

A mole is approximately the number of protons in a gram of protons. The mass of a neutron is about the same as the mass of a proton, while the mass of an electron is usually negligible in comparison, so if you know the total number of protons and neutrons in a molecule(i,e., its "atomic mass"), you know the approximate mass(in grams) of a mole of these molecules. Referring to the periodic table at the back of this book ,find the mass of a mole of each of the following : Water, nitrogen (N2), lead, quartz (Si O2)

Home owners and builders discuss thermal conductivities in terms of the value (Rfor resistance) of a material, defined as the thickness divided by the thermal conductivity:

R≡Δxkt

(a) Calculate the Rvalue of a 1/8-inch(3.2mm) piece of plate glass, and then of a 1mmlayer of still air. Express both answers in SI units.

(b) In the United States, Rvalues of building materials are normally given in English units,∘F⋅ft2⋅hr/Btu. A Btu, or British thermal unit, is the energy needed to raise the temperature of a pound of water 1∘F. Work out the conversion factor between the SI and English units for values. Convert your answers from part (a) to English units.

(c) Prove that for a compound layer of two different materials sandwiched together (such as air and glass, or brick and wood), the effective total Rvalue is the sum of the individual Rvalues.

(d) Calculate the effective Rvalue of a single piece of plate glass with a 1.0mmlayer of still air on each side. (The effective thickness of the air layer will depend on how much wind is blowing; 1mmis of the right order of magnitude under most conditions.) Using this effective Rvalue, make a revised estimate of the heat loss through a 1−m2single-pane window when the temperature in the room is 20∘Chigher than the outdoor temperature.

Heat capacities are normally positive, but there is an important class of exceptions: systems of particles held together by gravity, such as stars and star clusters.
aConsider a system of just two particles, with identical masses, orbiting in circles about their center of mass. Show that the gravitational potential energy of this system is-2times the total kinetic energy.
bThe conclusion of part aturns out to be true, at least on average, for any system of particles held together by mutual gravitational attraction:

U¯potential=−2U¯kinetic

Here each Urefers to the total energy (of that type) for the entire system, averaged over some sufficiently long time period. This result is known as the virial theorem. (For a proof, see Carroll and Ostlie (1996), Section 2.4.) Suppose, then, that you add some energy to such a system and then wait for the system to equilibrate. Does the average total kinetic energy increase or decrease? Explain.

cA star can be modeled as a gas of particles that interact with each other only gravitationally. According to the equipartition theorem, the average kinetic energy of the particles in such a star should be 32KT, whereT is the average temperature. Express the total energy of a star in terms of its average temperature, and calculate the heat capacity. Note the sign.
dUse dimensional analysis to argue that a star of mass Mand radius Rshould have a total potential energy of -GM2/R, times some constant of order 1.
eEstimate the average temperature of the sun, whose mass is 2×1030kgand whose radius is 7×108m. Assume, for simplicity, that the sun is made entirely of protons and electrons.

Your 200gcup of tea is boiling-hot. About how much ice should you add to bring it down to a comfortable sipping temperature of 65∘C? (Assume that the ice is initially at -15∘C. The specific heat capacity of ice is (0.5cal/g⋅∘C..)

Problem 1.36. In the course of pumping up a bicycle tire, a liter of air at atmospheric pressure is compressed adiabatically to a pressure of 7 atm. (Air is mostly diatomic nitrogen and oxygen.)

(a) What is the final volume of this air after compression?

(b) How much work is done in compressing the air?

(c) If the temperature of the air is initially300K , what is the temperature after compression?
