Chapter 13: Q4CQ (page 468)

If you add boiling water to a cup at room temperature, what would you expect the final equilibrium temperature of the unit to be? You will need to include the surroundings as part of the system. Consider the zeroth law of thermodynamics.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The final equilibrium temperature of the unit or the system will be the same as the room temperature. The heat flow of a system is from higher to lower. Here the heat is the transfer from the hot water to the surroundings until it attains the same temperature.

Step by step solution

01

The zeroth law of thermodynamics

The law states that when two objects with different temperatures are in thermal contact with each other. And the heat will flow from the hot object to the cold one until the temperature of both objects will same.

02

Heat transfer to the surroundings

Here you are adding boiling water to a cup that is at room temperature. The surrounding temperature is less than the temperature of the water. So, the heat energy transfer from hot water to the surrounding air, so that they reach thermal equilibrium with each other if you placed it for some time.

A high-pressure gas cylinder contains 50.0 L of toxic gas at a pressure of 1.40 x 107 N/m2 and a temperature of 25.0掳C. Its valve leaks after the cylinder is dropped. The cylinder is cooled to dry ice temperature (-78.5掳C) to reduce the leak rate and pressure so that it can be safely repaired. (a) What is the final pressure in the tank, assuming a negligible amount of gas leaks while being cooled and that there is no phase change? (b) What is the final pressure if one-tenth of the gas escapes? (c) To what temperature must the tank be cooled to reduce the pressure to 1.0 atm (assuming the gas does not change phase and that there is no leakage during cooling)? (d) Does cooling the tank appear to be a practical solution?

Question:If you want to cook in water at 150掳C, you need a pressure cooker that can withstand the necessary pressure. (a) What pressure is required for the boiling point of water to be this high? (b) If the lid of the pressure cooker is a disk 25.0 cm in diameter, what force must it be able to withstand at this pressure?

Why does a beaker of 40.0潞C water placed in a vacuum chamber start to boil as the chamber is evacuated (air is pumped out of the chamber)? At what pressure does the boiling begin? Would food cook any faster in such a beaker?

Question:If the relative humidity is 90.0% on a muggy summer morning when the temperature is 20.0潞C, what will it be later in the day when the temperature is 30.0潞C, assuming the water vapor density remains constant?

What is the Fahrenheit temperature of a person with a 39.0潞C fever
