(a) Repeat Exercise \({\rm{31}}{\rm{.2}}\), and convert the energy to joules or calories. (b) If all of this energy is converted to thermal energy in the gas, what is its temperature increase, assuming \(50.0\,{\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{3}}}\) of ideal gas at \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.250 - }}\)atm pressure? (The small answer is consistent with the fact that the energy is large on a quantum mechanical scale but small on a macroscopic scale.)

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Energy converted in Joule is obtained as: \(1.92 \times {10^{ - 14}}\,{\rm{J}}\).
  2. The temperature is obtained as: \(3.03 \times {10^{ - 12}}\,{\rm{K}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Define Radioactivity

The spontaneous emission of radiation in the form of particles or high-energy photons as a result of a nuclear process is known as radioactivity.

02

Evaluating the energy in joules or calories

a) Number of ions we have is: \(n = 4 \times {10^3}\,{\rm{ion}}\)

Energy required to create one pair of ion is given as:

\({E_{rad}} = 30.0\,{\rm{eV}}\)

The total energy required is then obtained as:

\(\begin{align}{E_{tot}} &= 4000 \times (30.0\,eV)\\ &= 120000\,eV\\ &= 120000 \times 1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}\,J\\ &= 1.92 \times {10^{ - 14}}\,J\end{align}\)

Therefore, the energy in joule is: \(1.92 \times {10^{ - 14}}\,{\rm{J}}\).

03

Evaluating the temperature

b) The pressure of the gas is given as:

\(\begin{align}P &= 0.250\,atm{\rm{ }}\\ &= 0.250 \times 101325\,Pa\\P &= 25331\,Pa\end{align}\)

The volume of the gas is given as:

\(\begin{align}V &= 50\,c{m^3}{\rm{ }}\\ &= 5.0x{10^{ - 5}}\,{m^3}\end{align}\)

We the know that:

\(\begin{align}du &= n{c_V}dT\\dT &= \frac{{du}}{{n{c_v}}}\end{align}\)

The equation, for ideal gas is:

\(\begin{align}PV &= nRT\\R &= \frac{{PV}}{{nT}}\end{align}\)

We also know that, for ideal gas we have is:

\(\begin{align}{c_v} &= \frac{3}{2}{\rm{ }}\\R &= \frac{3}{2}\frac{{PV}}{{nT}}\end{align}\)

The experiment with the value of gm tube must be going on at room temperature, So we have the value as: \({\rm{T = 300 K}}\).

We, then obtain:

\(\begin{align}dT{\rm{ }} &= \frac{{dU}}{{n\frac{3}{2}\frac{{PV}}{{nT}}}}\\ &= \frac{{2dUT}}{{3PV}}\end{align}\)

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

\(\begin{align}dT &= \frac{{2\left( {1.92 \times {{10}^{ - 14}}\,J} \right)(300\,K)}}{{3\left( {5.0 \times {{10}^{ - 5}}\,{m^3}} \right)(25331\,Pa)}}\\ &= 3.03 \times {10^{ - 12}}\,K\end{align}\)

Therefore, the temperature is: \(3.03 \times {10^{ - 12}}\,{\rm{K}}\).

Most popular questions from this chapter

To obtain the most precise value of\({\rm{BE}}\)from the equation\({\rm{BE = (ZM}}{{\rm{(}}^{\rm{1}}}{\rm{H) + N}}{{\rm{m}}_{\rm{n}}}{\rm{)}}{{\rm{c}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - m}}{{\rm{(}}^{\rm{A}}}{\rm{X)}}{{\rm{c}}^{\rm{2}}}\), we should take into account the binding energy of the electrons in the neutral atoms. Will doing this produce a larger or smaller value for\({\rm{BE}}\)? Why is this effect usually negligible?

What is the ratio of the velocity of a \(5.00\,{\rm{MeV }}\beta \)ray to that of an\({\rm{\alpha }}\) particle with the same kinetic energy? This should confirm that \({\rm{\beta }}\) s travel much faster than \({\rm{\alpha }}\) s even when relativity is taken into consideration. (See also Exercise \({\rm{31}}{\rm{.11}}\).)

Unreasonable Results

A physicist scatters\(\gamma \)rays from a substance and sees evidence of a nucleus\(7.5 \times {10^{ - 13}}\;{\rm{m}}\)in radius. (a) Find the atomic mass of such a nucleus.

(b) What is unreasonable about this result?

(c) What is unreasonable about the assumption?

Suppose a particle of ionizing radiation deposits\(1.0\,{\rm{MeV}}\)in the gas of a Geiger tube, all of which goes to creating ion pairs. Each ion pair requires\(30.0\,{\rm{eV}}\)of energy. (a) The applied voltage sweeps the ions out of the gas in\(1.00\,{\rm{\mu s}}\). What is the current? (b) This current is smaller than the actual current since the applied voltage in the Geiger tube accelerates the separated ions, which then create other ion pairs in subsequent collisions. What is the current if this last effect multiplies the number of ion pairs by\({\rm{900}}\)?

Cow’s milk produced near nuclear reactors can be tested for as little as \(1.00\,{\rm{pCi}}\) of \({}^{{\rm{131}}}{\rm{I}}\) per litre, to check for possible reactor leakage. What mass of\({}^{{\rm{131}}}{\rm{I}}\) has this activity?
