Make a rough estimate of how far food coloring (or sugar) will diffuse through water in one minute.

Short Answer

Expert verified

In one minute, the food coloring (or sugar) will diffuse through the water.x=1.732104m

Step by step solution

01

Step1:Find food coloring (or sugar) will diffuse through water in one minute. 

D is the diffusion constant for sucrose (table sugar) in water at room temperature.D=510-10m2s-1We can estimate how far a sucrose molecule will diffuse by taking xthe distance over which diffusion has occurred. This region's volume is:.

V=Ax

where A denotes the container's cross sectional area If N is the total number of molecules in this region, the particle density is as follows:

n=NV=NAx

The flux can be calculated by taking xthe time required for the volumeAx to acquire the N molecules, yielding:

Jx=NAt

02

Step2:Ficks law

Jx=Ddndx

substitute from equations Jx=NAtandn=NV=NAxinto equation Jx=Ddndx, so:

NAt=DddxNAx=DNA(x)2

t=(x)2Dx=Dt

substitute with,t=60s and D=510-10m2s-1, so:

x=5101060=1.732104m

x=1.732104m

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.

Make a rough estimate of the thermal conductivity of helium at room temperature. Discuss your result, explaining why it differs from the value for air.

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?

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 type of molecule at room temperature, and compare them.


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.
