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 gas inside a balloon will always have a pressure nearly equal to atmospheric pressure since that is the pressure applied to the outside of the balloon. You fill a balloon with helium (a nearly ideal gas) to a volume of 0.600 L at 19.0掳C. What is the volume of the balloon if you cool it to the boiling point of liquid nitrogen (77.3 K)?
On a sunny day, large 鈥渂ubbles鈥� of air form on the sun-warmed earth, gradually expand, and finally break free to rise through the atmosphere. Soaring birds and glider pilots are fond of using these 鈥渢hermals鈥� to gain altitude easily. This expansion is essentially an adiabatic process. Why?
Unwrapped food placed in a freezer experiences dehydration, known as 鈥渇reezer burn.鈥� Why?
How can the thermal conduction of heat from a hot object to a cold object increase entropy when the same amount of heat that flows out of the hot object flows into the cold one?
