Why do frozen water pipes burst? Would a mercury thermometer break if the temperature went below the freezing temperature of mercury? Why or why not?
The pV-diagram in Fig. E19.13 shows a process abc involving 0.450 mol of an ideal gas. (a) What was the temperature of this gas at points a, b, and c? (b) How much work was done by or on the gas in this process? (c) How much heat had to be added during the process to increase the internal energy of the gas by 15,000 J?

Hydrothermal vents are openings in the ocean floor that discharge very hot water. The water emerging from one such vent off the Oregon coast, 2400m below the surface, is at 279° C. Despite its high temperature, the water doesn’t boil. Why not?
A volume of air (assumed to be an ideal gas) is first cooled without changing its volume and then expanded without changing its pressure, as shown by path abc in Fig. . (a) How does the final temperature of the gas compare with its initial temperature? (b) How much heat does the air exchange with its surroundings during process abc? Does the air absorb heat or release heat during this process? Explain. (c) If the air instead expands from state a to state c by the straight-line path shown, how much heat does it exchange with its surroundings?

A constant-volume gas thermometer registers an absolute pressure corresponding to 325 mm of mercury when in contact with water at the triple point. What pressure does it read when in contact with water at the normal boiling point?
