Question: An air bubble of volume 20 cm3is at the bottom of a lake 40 mdeep, where the temperature is 4. 0 0C. The bubble rises to the surface, which is at a temperature of. Take the temperature of 20 0C the bubble’s air to be the same as that of the surrounding water. Just as the bubble reaches the surface, what is its volume?
Water standing in the open atevaporates because of the escape of some of the surface molecules. The heat of vaporization () is approximately equal to, whereis the average energy of the escaping molecules and is the number of molecules per gram.
The dot in Figre 19-18bpresents the initial state of a gas, and the isotherm through the dot divides the p-V diagram into regions 1 and 2. For the following processes, determine whether the change in the internal energy of the gas is positive, negative, or zero: (a) the gas moves up along the isotherm, (b) it moves down along the isotherm, (c) it moves to anywhere in region, and (d) it moves to anywhere in region.

In a bottle of champagne, the pocket of gas (primarily carbon dioxide) between the liquid and the cork is at a pressure of.When the cork is pulled from the bottle, the gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion until its pressure matches the ambient air pressure of.Assume that the ratio of the molar specific heats is. If the gas has initial temperature, what is the temperature at the end of the adiabatic expansion?
