The specific heat of most solids is nearly constant over a wide temperature range. Not so for diamond. Between 200 K and 600 K,
the specific heat of diamond is reasonably well described by c = 2.8T - 350 J/kg K, where T is in K. For gemstone diamonds, 1 carat = 200 mg. How much heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of a 3.5 carat diamond from -50°C to 250°C?
You need to raise the temperature of a gas by 10°C. To use the least amount of heat energy, should you heat the gas at constant pressure or at constant volume? Explain.
moles of an ideal gas at temperature and volume localid="1648032029846" expand isothermally until the volume has doubled. In terms of and , what are (a) the final temperature, (b) the work done on the gas, and (c) the heat energy transferred to the gas?
Two cylinders each contain of a diatomic gas at and a pressure of . Cylinder A expands isothermally and cylinder B expands adiabatically until the pressure of each is .
a. What are the final temperature and volume of each?
b. Show both processes on a single diagram. Use an appropriate scale on both axes.
A satellite to reflect radar is a diameter, thick spherical copper shell. While orbiting the earth, the satellite absorbs sunlight and is warmed to . When it passes into the earth's shadow, the satellite radiates energy to deep space. The temperature of deep space is actually , as a result of the Big Bang 14 billion years ago, but it is so much colder than the satellite that you can assume a deep-space temperature of . If the satellite's emissivity is , to what temperature, in , will it drop during the 45 minutes it takes to move through the earth's shadow?
