A 10cmdiameter cylinder contains argon gas at 10atmpressure and a temperature of50°C. A piston can slide in and out of the cylinder. The cylinder's initial length is 20cm.2500J of heat are transferred to the gas, causing the gas to expand at constant pressure. What are (a) the final temperature and (b) the final length of the cylinder?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The final temperature is 526k.

b) The final length of the cylinder is24.9cm

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (Part a)

Diameter of the cylinder is =10cm

Pressure =10atm

Cylinder Initial length=20cm

Temperature=2500J

02

Explanation (Part a)

(a) Since the process is isothermic, the heat exchanged Qwill be given as a function of the temperature change ∆Tby,

Q=nCpΔT

Therefore, the temperature difference will be

ΔT=QnCp

Here we don't know the number nof moles, but again, we shouldn't calculate it numerically, but instead substitute its parametric expression.

From the ideal gas law, we can find nto be

pV=nRT⇒n=pVRT

Surely enough, when substituting we have to substitute all (p,V,T)belonging to the same state.

Substituting, we can find the temperature difference to be

ΔT=QCpRTpV=QRT1p1V1Cp

Therefore, the temperature T2will be

T2=T1+ΔT=T11+QRp1V1Cp

03

Explanation (Part a)

If unconvinced, one can perform dimensional analysis to confirm our expression.

In our situation, we are given the diameter of the cylinder and the initial height, not the initial volume.

Therefore, we can write

V1=Ah1=Ï€R2h1=Ï€D24h1

Substituting in the expression we found for the temperature, we have

T2=T11+4QRÏ€p1D2h1Cp

In our given numerical case, we will have

localid="1648560213496" T2=32K31+4×2500J×8.314J⋅K-1⋅mol-1π×10atm×1.01·105·0.12cm·0.2m·20.8=526K

04

Final Answer (Part a)

Therefore, the final temperature is526k.

05

Given Information (Part b)

Diameter of the cylinder is=10cm

Pressure=10atm

Cylinder Initial length=20cm

Temperature=2500J

06

Explanation (Part a)

Since the process is isobaric, we can write

V1T1=V2T2

The volume, however, as we mentioned, is V=Ah.

Substituting and then cancelling the cross-section areas we get

Ah1T1=Ah2T2⇒h2=T2T1h1

In our numerical case, we will have

localid="1648567822414" h2=526m2423K·20cm=24.9cm

07

Final Answer (Part b)

Therefore, final length of the cylinder is24.9cm

Most stars are main-sequence stars, a group of stars for which size, mass, surface temperature, and radiated power are closely related. The sun, for instance, is a yellow main-sequence star with a surface temperature of 5800K. For a main-sequence star whose mass M is more than twice that of the sun, the total radiated power, relative to the sun, is approximately P/Psun=1.5M/Msun3.5. The star Regulus A is a bluish main-sequence star with mass 3.8Msun and radius 3.1Rsun. What is the surface temperature of Regulus A?
