Chapter 13: Q2Q (page 359)

Question: Name several properties of materials that could be used to make a thermometer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The properties of materials that could be used to make a thermometer are as follows:

(1) Electrical resistance

(2) Volume of a gas

(3) Color (frequency) of emitted light from a heated plate

(4) Expansion of a metal (bimetallic strip)

(5) Volume of a liquid (mercury thermometer).

Step by step solution

01

Thermometric properties

The performance of a thermometer is based on the variation of some physical properties (such as volume, resistance, vapor pressure, etc.) of the working substance with temperature.

This property of the working substance is called its thermal or thermometric property.

The most common type of thermometer is the mercury thermometer, which is based on the thermal expansion of mercury.

Question:A standard cylinder of oxygen used in a hospital has gauge pressure =\(2000\;{\rm{psi}}\)(13,800 kPa) and volume 14 L\(\left( {0.014\;{{\rm{m}}^3}} \right)\)at\(T = 295\;{\rm{K}}\). How long will the cylinder last if the flow rate, measured at atmospheric pressure, is constant at\(2.1\;{\rm{L/min}}\)?.

Question:(II) A certain car has 14.0 L of liquid coolant circulating at a temperature of 93掳C through the engine鈥檚 cooling system. Assume that, in this normal condition, the coolant completely fills the 3.5-L volume of the aluminum radiator and the 10.5-L internal cavities within the aluminum engine. When a car overheats, the radiator, engine, and coolant expand and a small reservoir connected to the radiator catches any resultant coolant overflow. Estimate how much coolant overflows to the reservoir if the system goes from 93掳C to 105掳C. Model the radiator and engine as hollow shells of aluminum. The coefficient of volume expansion for coolant is\({\bf{410}} \times {\bf{1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 6}}}}\;{\bf{/^\circ C}}\).

Calculate the number of molecules/m3in an ideal gas at STP.

(II) A scuba tank is filled with air to a gauge pressure of 204 atm when the air temperature is 29掳C. A diver then jumps into the ocean and, after a short time on the ocean surface, checks the tank's gauge pressure and finds that it is only 191 atm. Assuming the diver has inhaled a negligible amount of air from the tank, what is the temperature of the ocean water?

Question 15: Will the buoyant force on an aluminum sphere submerged in water increase, decrease, or remain the same, if the temperature is increased from 20掳C to 40掳C? Explain.
