A liquid is irregularly stirred in a well-insulated container and thereby undergoes a rise in temperature. Regard the liquid as the system. Has heat been transferred? How can you tell? Has work been done? How can you tell? Why is it important that the stirring is irregular? What is the sign of ∆U? How can you tell?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The internal energy of the liquid is irregularly stirred in a well-insulated container increases and it corresponds to an increase in the temperature of the liquid.

∆U>0

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:

According to the first law of thermodynamics

∆U=O~-W

Since the container is well insulated, no heat has been transferred, and Q=0. Work has been done on the liquid, so W < 0. The force exerted during the stirring moves the liquid in the direction of force so positive work is done by string force. Irregular stirring increases the force applied to the liquid and thereby increases the work done on the liquid.

02

Step 2:

∆U=--Wand W<0

Hence, the internal energy increases and it corresponds to an increase in the temperature of the liquid

Perfectly rigid containers each hold n moles of ideal gas, one is being hydrogen (H2) and the other being neon (Ne). If it takes 300 J of heat to increase the temperature of the hydrogen by 2.50°C, by how many degrees will the same amount of heat raise the temperature of the neon?

An empty cylindrical canister 1.50 m long and 90.0 cm in diameter is to be filled with pure oxygen at 22.0°C to store in a space station. To hold as much gas as possible, the absolute pressure of the oxygen will be 21.0 atm. The molar mass of oxygen is 32.0 g>mol. (a) How many moles of oxygen does this canister hold? (b) For someone lifting this canister, by how many kilograms does this gas increase the mass to be lifted?

Figure P19.43 shows a pV-diagram for 0.0040 mol of ideal H2 gas. The temperature of the gas does not change during segment bc. (a) What volume does this gas occupy at point c? (b) Find the temperature of the gas at points a, b, and c. (c) How much heat went into or out of the gas during segments ab, ca, and bc? Indicate whether the heat has gone into or out of the gas. (d) Find the change in the internal energy of this hydrogen during segments ab, bc, and ca. Indicate whether the internal energy increased or decreased during each segment.

The pressure of a gas at the triple point of water is 1.35 atm. If its volume remains unchanged, what will its pressure be at the temperature at which CO2 solidifies?
