Consider the liquid in a barometer whose coefficient of volume expansion is6.6×10−4/0C.Find the relative change in the liquid’s height if the temperature changes by120Cwhile the pressure remains constant. Neglect the expansion of the glass tube.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The relative change in height of a liquid is7.92×10−3.

Step by step solution

01

Stating thegiven data

  1. The coefficient of volume expansion of liquid is.β=6.6×10−4/°°ä
  2. The temperature rise isΔT=12°°ä.
02

Understanding the concept of thermal expansion

Thermal radiation is the process of transferring heat through electromagnetic radiation that is produced by the thermal motion of matter particles. We use the concept of volume thermal expansion. As the expansion of the glass tube is neglected, the relative change in height will be equal to the relative change in volume.

Formulae:

Volume expansion of the body due to thermal radiation,ΔV=V×β×ΔT …(¾±)

Volume of the body in terms of area and length, V=A×L.…(¾±¾±)

03

Calculation of height change

Now, as the expansion of the glass tube is to be neglected, the area of cross-section gets cancelled.

So, the relative change in height,ΔHof a liquid becomes

ΔLL=ΔVV …(¾±¾±¾±)

Using equation (i), the relative change in volume can be given as

ΔVV=βΔT …(¾±±¹)

So, the relative change in height using equations (iii) and (iv) can be given as

ΔH=ΔLL=βΔT=6.6×10−4/°°ä×12°°ä(³Ü²õ¾±²Ô²µ²µ¾±±¹±ð²Ô±¹²¹±ô³Ü±ð²õ)=7.92×10−3

Hence, the relative change in the value of height is.7.92×10−3

One way to keep the contents of a garage from becoming too cold on a night when a severe subfreezing temperature is forecast is to put a tub of water in the garage. If the mass of the water is 125 kgand its initial temperature is20°C, (a) how much energy must the water transfer to its surroundings in order to freeze completely and (b) what is the lowest possible temperature of the water and its surroundings until that happens?

A certain diet doctor encourages people to diet by drinking ice water. His theory is that the body must burn off enough fat to raise the temperature of the water from 0.00°Cto the body temperature of37.0°C. How many liters of ice water would have to be consumed to burn off(about 1 lb) of fat, assuming that burning this much fat requires3500calbe transferred to the ice water? Why is it not advisable to follow this diet? (Oneliter=103cm3. The density of water is1.00 g/³¦³¾3.)

As a result of a temperature rise of 320C, a bar with a crack at its center buckles upward (Figure). If the fixed distance L0 â¶Ä‰is â¶Ä‰3.77m and the coefficient of linear expansion of the bar is 25×10−6/0C, find the rise x of the center.

A certain substance has a mass per mole of 50.0 g/mol. When 314 J is added as heat to a 30.0 g sample, the sample’s temperature rises from 25.0°C to 45.0°°ä. (a) What is the specific heat and (b) What is the molar specific heat of this substance? (c) How many moles are in the sample?
