Chapter 13: Q26PE (page 470)

Confirm that the units of nRT are those of energy for each value of R : (a) 8.31 J/mol K, (b) 1.99 cal/mol K, and (c) 0.0821 L atm/mol K.

Short Answer

Expert verified

All units of nRT are confirmed to be those of energy.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

We find the unit of nRT for different values of R.

02

Different values of R and ideal gas equation

(a)

The unit of n will be mol and that of temperature will be kelvin.

For R=8.31 J/mol K

UnitsofnRT=mol脳(J/mol-K)脳K

Joule is a unit of energy.

(b)

For R=1.99 cal/mol K

Units of nRT

UnitsofnRT=mol脳(cal/mol-K)脳K=cal

Calorie is a unit of energy.(1 cal = 4.2 J).

(c)

For R=0.0821 L atm/mol K

Units of nRT

UnitsofnRT=mol脳(L-atm/mol.K)脳K=L.atm

Litre atm is again a unit of energy (1 L atm = 101.33 J)

Therefore, the unit of nRT comes out to be that of energy for different values of R.

Question: Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water high for a temperature increase of . Note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth.

One method of getting a tight fit, say of a metal peg in a hole in a metal block, is to manufacture the peg slightly larger than the hole. The peg is then inserted when at a different temperature than the block. Should the block be hotter or colder than the peg during insertion? Explain your answer.

(a) The density of water at 0潞C is very nearly 1000 kg/m3(it is actually 999.84 kg/m3), whereas the density of ice at 0潞C is 917 kg/m3. Calculate the pressure necessary to keep ice from expanding when it freezes, neglecting the effect such a large pressure would have on the freezing temperature. (This problem gives you only an indication of how large the forces associated with freezing water might be.) (b) What are the implications of this result for biological cells that are frozen?

Question: Thermal stresses caused by uneven cooling can easily break glass cookware. Explain why Pyrex庐, a glass with a small coefficient of linear expansion, is less susceptible.

Question: Confirm that the units of nRT are those of energy for each value of R : (a) 8.31 J/mol K, (b) 1.99 cal/mol K, and (c) 0.0821 L atm/mol K.
