(II) In an alcohol-in-glass thermometer, the alcohol column has length 12.61 cm at 0.0掳C and length 22.79 cm at 100.0掳C. What is the temperature if the column has length (a) 18.70 cm, and (b) 14.60 cm?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The temperature at the length 18.70 cm is \(59.80^\circ {\rm{C}}\).
  2. The temperature at the length 14.60 cm is \(19.64^\circ {\rm{C}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

  • The first temperature value is\({T_1} = 0^\circ {\rm{C}}\).
  • The second temperature value is\({T_2} = 100^\circ {\rm{C}}\).
  • The first length of the alcohol column is\({l_1} = 12.61{\rm{ cm}}\).
  • The second length of the alcohol column is \({l_2} = 22.79{\rm{ cm}}\).
02

Understanding measurement of temperature in an alcohol-in-glass thermometer

The temperature at the required length can be obtained with the help of the length of the alcohol column and the change in the temperature per unit length.

This change in temperature per unit column length is the ratio of the temperature difference to the difference of lengths.

03

Determination of the change in temperature per unit length

The change in temperature per unit length can be expressed as

\(\Delta {T_{\rm{C}}} = \frac{{{T_2} - {T_1}}}{{{l_2} - {l_1}}}\).

Substitute the values in the above equation.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\Delta {T_{\rm{C}}} &= \frac{{100^\circ {\rm{C}} - 0^\circ {\rm{C}}}}{{22.79{\rm{ cm}} - 12.61{\rm{ cm}}}}\\ &= 9.823^\circ {\rm{C/cm}}\end{aligned}\)

04

(a) Determination of the temperature if the column has a length of 18.70 cm

The temperature at a particular length can be expressed as

\(T\left( l \right) = {T_1} + \left( {l - {l_1}} \right)\left( {\Delta {T_{\rm{C}}}} \right)\).

Here, l is the new length of the column.

Substitute the values in the above equation.

\(T\left( l \right) = 0^\circ {\rm{C}} + \left( {l - 12.61{\rm{ cm}}} \right)\left( {9.823\;^\circ {\rm{C/cm}}} \right)\) 鈥 (i)

From equation (i), the temperature at the length of 18.70 cm can be calculated.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}T\left( {18.70{\rm{ cm}}} \right) &= 0^\circ {\rm{C}} + \left( {18.70{\rm{ cm}} - 12.61{\rm{ cm}}} \right)\left( {9.823\;^\circ {\rm{C/cm}}} \right)\\ &= 6.09{\rm{ cm}} \times \left( {9.823\;^\circ {\rm{C/cm}}} \right)\\ &= 59.82\;^\circ {\rm{C}}\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the temperature at the length of 18.70 cm is\(59.82\;^\circ {\rm{C}}\).

05

(b) Determination of the temperature if the column has a length of 14.60 cm

From equation (i), the temperature at the length of 14.60 cm can be calculated.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}T\left( {14.60{\rm{ cm}}} \right) &= 0^\circ {\rm{C}} + \left( {14.60{\rm{ cm}} - 12.61{\rm{ cm}}} \right)\left( {9.823\;^\circ {\rm{C/cm}}} \right)\\ &= 1.99{\rm{ cm}} \times \left( {9.823\;^\circ {\rm{C/cm}}} \right)\\ &= 19.55\;^\circ {\rm{C}}\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the temperature at the length of 14.60 cm is\(19.55\;^\circ {\rm{C}}\).

Question 36:(III) A sealed test tube traps of air at a pressure of 1.00 atm and temperature of 18掳C. The test tube鈥檚 stopper has a diameter of 1.50 cm and will 鈥減op off鈥 the test tube if a net upward force of 10.0 N is applied to it. To what temperature would you have to heat the trapped air in order to 鈥減op off鈥 the stopper? Assume the air surrounding the test tube is always at a pressure of 1.00 atm.
