Q18.23 The discussion in Section 18.4 concluded that all ideal monatomic gases have the same heat capacity Cv. Does this mean that it takes the same amount of heat to raise the temperature of 1.0gof each one by1.0K?Explain your reasoning.

Short Answer

Expert verified

No. It takes different amounts of heat to raise the temperature of 1.0g of all monoatomic ideal gases by1.0K .

Step by step solution

01

Definition of heat capacity and expression

The heat capacity is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 mole of a monoatomic gas to 1.0K.

The amount of heat absorbed and the temperature increased is related by Q=nCvT

where Q is the heat intake, nis the number of moles, Cvis the heat capacity at constant volume, Tis the change in temperature.

02

Step 2:  Expression for change in temperature

Expression for change in temperature from the above equation is T=QnCv.

Even if the value of heat capacity, is constant, still change in temperature depends on the heat intake, and the number of moles as well.

For different gases, the number of moles contained in 1g will be different. Thus, the amount of heat required will be more for more number of moles (as Qn), and the corresponding rise in temperature will be less, as T1n.

Hence, it takes different amount of heat to raise the temperature of 1.0g of each sample of monoatomic gas by1.0K .

Real heat engines, like the gasoline engine in a car, always have some friction between their moving parts, although lubricants keep the friction to a minimum. Would a heat engine with completely frictionless parts be 100%efficient? Why or why not? Does the answer depend on whether or not the engine runs on the Carnot cycle? Again, why or why not?

Suppose you try to cool the kitchen of your house by leaving the refrigerator door open. What happens? Why? Would the result be the same if you left open a picnic cooler full of ice? Explain the reason for any differences.

The free expansion of an ideal gas is an adiabatic process and so no heat is transferred. No work is done, so the internal energy does not change. Thus,QT=0, yet the randomness of the system and thus its entropy have increased after the expansion. Why does Eq.(20.19)not apply to this situation?

A rigid, perfectly insulated container has a membrane dividing its volume in half. One side contains a gas at an absolute temperature and pressure , while the other half is completely empty. Suddenly a small hole develops in the membrane, allowing the gas to leak out into the other half until it eventually occupies twice its original volume. In terms of and , what will be the new temperature and pressure of the gas when it is distributed equally in both halves of the container? Explain your reasoning.

In deriving the ideal-gas equation from the kinetic molecular model, we ignored potential energy due to the earth鈥檚 gravity. Is this omission justified? Why or why not?
