91Ó°ÊÓ

A fish at a pressure of 1.1 atm has its swim bladder inflated to an initial volume of \(8.16 \mathrm{mL}\). If the fish starts swimming horizontally, its temperature increases from \(20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to $22.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ as a result of the exertion. (a) since the fish is still at the same pressure, how much work is done by the air in the swim bladder? [Hint: First find the new volume from the temperature change. \(]\) (b) How much heat is gained by the air in the swim bladder? Assume air to be a diatomic ideal gas. (c) If this quantity of heat is lost by the fish, by how much will its temperature decrease? The fish has a mass of \(5.00 \mathrm{g}\) and its specific heat is about $3.5 \mathrm{J} /\left(\mathrm{g} \cdot^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$.

Answer: The temperature of the fish will decrease by 0.591°C after losing the heat.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the new volume of the swim bladder when the temperature increases

We will use the ideal gas law \(P V = n R T\) to find the new volume. First, we need to convert the temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin: \(T_1 = 20.0^{\circ} C + 273.15 = 293.15\,\mathrm{K}\) \(T_2 = 22.0^{\circ} C + 273.15 = 295.15\,\mathrm{K}\) As pressure and the amount of air (n) are constants, we can set up the equation: \(\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}\) Plugging in the values: \(\frac{8.16\,\mathrm{mL}}{293.15\,\mathrm{K}} = \frac{V_2}{295.15\,\mathrm{K}}\) Now solve for \(V_2\): \(V_2 = \frac{8.16\,\mathrm{mL} \cdot 295.15\,\mathrm{K}}{293.15\,\mathrm{K}}\) \(V_2 = 8.24\, \mathrm{mL}\)
02

Determine the work done by the air in the swim bladder

Since the fish is swimming horizontally, the pressure stays constant at 1.1 atm. The work done can be calculated using the equation: \(W = P \Delta V\) First, we need to convert the pressure to Pascals: \(P = 1.1 \,\mathrm{atm} \times \frac{101325 \,\mathrm{Pa}}{1\, \mathrm{atm}} = 111457.5\, \mathrm{Pa}\) Now, find \(\Delta V\) and convert it to cubic meters: \(\Delta V = V_2 - V_1 = 8.24\,\mathrm{mL} - 8.16\,\mathrm{mL} = 0.08\, \mathrm{mL} = 0.08 \times 10^{-6}\,\mathrm{m^3}\) Finally, calculate the work done: \(W = (111457.5\,\mathrm{Pa})(0.08 \times 10^{-6}\,\mathrm{m^3}) = 8.92\,\mathrm{J}\)
03

Calculate the heat gained by the air in the swim bladder

For a diatomic ideal gas, the constant pressure heat capacity (C_p) is given by: \(C_p = \frac{7}{2}R\) Using the first law of thermodynamics, we can find the heat gained (Q) by the system: \(Q = \Delta U + W\) Since \(\Delta U = n C_p \Delta T\), we can write: \(Q = n C_p \Delta T + W\) We have already calculated the work done, W = 8.92 J, and we have: \(\Delta T = T_2 - T_1 = 295.15\,\mathrm{K} - 293.15\,\mathrm{K} = 2\,\mathrm{K}\) Now, we need to find the number of moles (n) using the initial conditions (V1 and 1.1 atm) and the ideal gas constant R: \(n = \frac{P_1 V_1}{R T_1} = \frac{(1.1 \cdot 101325)\, \mathrm{Pa} \cdot 8.16 \times 10^{-6}\,\mathrm{m^3}}{8.314\,\mathrm{J \,mol^{-1}K^{-1}} \cdot 293.15 \,\mathrm{K}} = 3.20 \times 10^{-4} \,\mathrm{mol}\) Calculate the heat gained by the air in the swim bladder: \(Q = (3.20 \times 10^{-4}\,\mathrm{mol}) \times \left(\frac{7}{2} \times 8.314\,\mathrm{J \,mol^{-1}K^{-1}}\right) \times (2\,\mathrm{K}) + 8.92\,\mathrm{J}\) \(Q = 10.33\,\mathrm{J}\)
04

Calculate the temperature decrease of the fish when it loses heat

The fish loses an amount of heat equal to the heat gained by the air in the swim bladder (Q). We can use the specific heat equation, \(Q = mc\Delta T\), to find the temperature decrease of the fish. Rearrange the equation to solve for \(\Delta T\) and plug in the given values: \(\Delta T = \frac{Q}{mc} = \frac{10.33\, \mathrm{J}}{(5.00 \mathrm{g})\left(3.5\,\mathrm{J}/(\mathrm{g}\cdot^{\circ}\mathrm{C})\right)} = 0.591\,^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) The temperature of the fish will decrease by \(0.591^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) after losing the heat.

An ideal gas is in contact with a heat reservoir so that it remains at a constant temperature of \(300.0 \mathrm{K}\). The gas is compressed from a volume of \(24.0 \mathrm{L}\) to a volume of 14.0 L. During the process, the mechanical device pushing the piston to compress the gas is found to expend \(5.00 \mathrm{kJ}\) of energy. How much heat flows between the heat reservoir and the gas and in what direction does the heat flow occur?
Estimate the entropy change of \(850 \mathrm{g}\) of water when it is heated from \(20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(50.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) [Hint: Assume that the heat flows into the water at an average temperature. \(]\)
Consider a heat engine that is not reversible. The engine uses $1.000 \mathrm{mol}\( of a diatomic ideal gas. In the first step \)(\mathrm{A})$ there is a constant temperature expansion while in contact with a warm reservoir at \(373 \mathrm{K}\) from \(P_{1}=1.55 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{Pa}\) and $V_{1}=2.00 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{m}^{3}$ to \(P_{2}=1.24 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{Pa}\) and $V_{2}=2.50 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{m}^{3} .$ Then (B) a heat reservoir at the cooler temperature of \(273 \mathrm{K}\) is used to cool the gas at constant volume to \(273 \mathrm{K}\) from \(P_{2}\) to $P_{3}=0.91 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{Pa} .$ This is followed by (C) a constant temperature compression while still in contact with the cold reservoir at \(273 \mathrm{K}\) from \(P_{3}, V_{2}\) to \(P_{4}=1.01 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{Pa}, V_{1} .\) The final step (D) is heating the gas at constant volume from \(273 \mathrm{K}\) to \(373 \mathrm{K}\) by being in contact with the warm reservoir again, to return from \(P_{4}, V_{1}\) to \(P_{1}, V_{1} .\) Find the change in entropy of the cold reservoir in step \(\mathrm{B}\). Remember that the gas is always in contact with the cold reservoir. (b) What is the change in entropy of the hot reservoir in step D? (c) Using this information, find the change in entropy of the total system of gas plus reservoirs during the whole cycle.

Calculate the maximum possible efficiency of a heat engine that uses surface lake water at \(18.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) as a source of heat and rejects waste heat to the water \(0.100 \mathrm{km}\) below the surface where the temperature is \(4.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
