The density of ice is 917 kg/m*.

(a) Use the Clausius-Clapeyron relation to explain why the slope of the phase boundary between water and ice is negative.

(b) How much pressure would you have to put on an ice cube to make it melt at -1°C?

(c) ApprOximately how deep under a glacier would you have to be before the weight of the ice above gives the pressure you found in part (b)? (Note that the pressure can be greater at some locations, as where the glacier flows over a protruding rock.)

(d) Make a rough estimate of the pressure under the blade of an ice skate, and calculate the melting temperature of ice at this pressure. Some authors have claimed that skaters glide with very little friction because the increased pressure under the blade melts the ice to create a thin layer of water. What do you think of this explanation?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The phase boundary between water and ice must have a negative slope.

During ice melting, the temperature drops by one degree (from 0 to -1°C).

Hence the depth is 1500m.

Thus the pressure will be 10 bar.

The temperature change at pressure for ice melting is -0.074 K.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Finding the slope of the boundary line using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation.

dPdT=ΔSΔV

The change in entropy is represented by ∆S, and the change in volume is represented by ∆V.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation 

When ice melts into water, the change in entropy is positive. In this procedure, the volume change is negative.

As a result, the phase boundaryΔSΔV between water and ice must have a negative slope.

03

Part (b) Step 3: Explanation

The volume of ice can be calculated as

Vi=mass of icedensity of ice

Substituting the values

Vi=1g917kg/m3Vi=1g1kg103g917kg/m3Vi=1.0905×10-6m-3

The volume of the water can be calculated as

Vw=mass of waterdensity of water

Substituting the values

Vw=1g1000Kg/m3Vw=1g1kg103g103kg/m3Vw==1.00×10-6m-3

Therefore the change in volume will be

ΔV=VW-Vi=1·00×10-6m-3-1.0905×10-6m-3=-0.0905×10-6m-3

04

Part (b) Step 4 : Calculation 

To find the slope of phase boundary we will use Clausius Clapeyron equation:

dPdT=LTΔV

Where,

L is the latent heat of water

T is the temperature

Substituting the values,

role="math" localid="1646865013176" dPdT=333J(273K)-0.0905×10-6m-3=-135×105Pa/K1×10-5bar/K1Pa/K=-135bar/K

As a result, during ice melting, the temperature drops by one degree

(from 0 to -1°C).

To stay on the phase boundary, the pressure must increase by 135 bars.

05

Part (c) Step 5: Explanation

When glacier ice is viewed as a fluid, the pressure rise along with the depth is

P=ÒÏgh

Where,

ÒÏis density

h is depth of the glacier

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Depth is given as:

h=PÒÏg

Substituting the values

h=(135bar)1×105N/m21bar917Kg/m39·8m/s2

h=1500m

Hence the depth is 1500m

06

Part (d) Step 6: Explanation

Assume a 5 mm wide skater blade with a 20 cm long length.

The entire area in contact with the ice when the skater is leaning on the corner of the blade is:

A=(length)(width)A=(20cm)1m100cm(5mm)10-3m1mmA=10-3m2

Assume the mass to be 100kg, hence the weight of skater will be

F=mgF=(100kg)9.8m/s2F=980N

Pressure on the blade will be

P=FAP=980N10-3m2P=9.8×105N/m21bar1×105N/m2P=9.8barP≈10bar

Thus the pressure will be 10 bar.

07

Explanation

The following is the drop in melting temperature under this pressure:

dT=-dP135bar/K

Substituting dP as 10 bars

dT=-10bar135bar/K=-0.074K

As a result, the temperature change at pressure for ice melting is -0.074 K. This is an extremely low temperature. As a result, the skater blades do not cause any ice melting.

A muscle can be thought of as a fuel cell, producing work from the metabolism of glucose:

C6H12O6+6O2⟶6CO2+6H2O

(a) Use the data at the back of this book to determine the values of ΔHand ΔGfor this reaction, for one mole of glucose. Assume that the reaction takes place at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

(b) What is maximum amount of work that a muscle can perform , for each mole of glucose consumed, assuming ideal operation?

(c) Still assuming ideal operation, how much heat is absorbed or expelled by the chemicals during the metabolism of a mole of glucose?

(d) Use the concept of entropy to explain why the heat flows in the direction it does?

(e) How would your answers to parts (a) and (b) change, if the operation of the muscle is not ideal?

Effect of altitude on boiling water.

(a) Use the result of the previous problem and the data in Figure 5.11 to plot a graph of the vapor pressure of water between 50°C and 100°C. How well can you match the data at the two endpoints?

(b) Reading the graph backward, estimate the boiling temperature of water at each of the locations for which you determined the pressure in Problem 1.16. Explain why it takes longer to cook noodles when you're camping in the mountains.

(c) Show that the dependence of boiling temperature on altitude is very nearly (though not exactly) a linear function, and calculate the slope in degrees Celsius per thousand feet (or in degrees Celsius per kilometer).

Graphite is more compressible than diamond.

(a) Taking compressibilities into account, would you expect the transition from graphite to diamond to occur at higher or lower pressure than that predicted in the text?

(b) The isothermal compressibility of graphite is about 3 x 10-6 bar-1, while that of diamond is more than ten times less and hence negligible in comparison. (Isothermal compressibility is the fractional reduction in volume per unit increase in pressure, as defined in Problem 1.46.) Use this information to make a revised estimate of the pressure at which diamond becomes more stable than graphite (at room temperature).

Ordinarily, the partial pressure of water vapour in the air is less than the equilibrium vapour pressure at the ambient temperature; this is why a cup of water will spontaneously evaporate. The ratio of the partial pressure of water vapour to the equilibrium vapour pressure is called the relative humidity. When the relative humidity is 100%, so that water vapour in the atmosphere would be in diffusive equilibrium with a cup of liquid water, we say that the air is saturated. The dew point is the temperature at which the relative humidity would be 100%, for a given partial pressure of water vapour.

(a) Use the vapour pressure equation (Problem 5.35) and the data in Figure 5.11 to plot a graph of the vapour pressure of water from 0°C to 40°C. Notice that the vapour pressure approximately doubles for every 10° increase in temperature.

(b) Suppose that the temperature on a certain summer day is 30° C. What is the dew point if the relative humidity is 90%? What if the relative humidity is 40%?
