On a warm summer day, a large mass of air (atmospheric pressure1.01×105Pa) is heated by the ground to26°C 26.0°C and then begins to rise through the cooler surrounding air. (This can be treated approximately as an adiabatic process; why?) Calculate the temperature of the air mass when it has risen to a level at which atmospheric pressure is only0.850×105Pa. Assume that air is an ideal gas, with y= 1.40. (This rate of cooling for dry, rising air, corresponding to roughly 1 C° per 100 m of altitude, is called the dry adiabatic lapse rate.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The temperature of the air mass when it has risen isT2=284.6K andT2=11.6C° (In Celsius)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Adiabatic ideal gas relation.

An adiabatic process in which no heat transfer takes place between a system and its surroundings. Zero heat transfer is an idealization.

Where,= The ratio of heat capacitiesY=CPCV

Thus for an initial stateT1,V1and a final stateT2,V2

T1(V1)γ-1=T2V2γ-1(adiabatic process, ideal gas)

V1V2γ-1=T2V2γ-1…â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦(1)

From the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

Where n = Number of moles , R= universal gas constant , V = Volume of gas ,

p = Pressure, and T = Temperature of gas

From initial statep1,T1,V1and the final statep2,T2,V2relation of ideal gas equation becomes,

p1V1T1=p2V2T2V1V2=T1p2T2p1

Substitute the value ofV1V2 in equation 1stWe get

T1p2T2p1γ-1=T2T1…..(2)

02

Calculate the temperature of final state

We are given a large mass of air at the atmospheric pressure and let us consider this pressure is the initial pressure p1where role="math" localid="1664297754243" p1=1.01×105paat initial temperature T1 : 26.0 C° (299 K). This air rise through the cooler surrounding air and this can be treated as an adiabatic process because the hot air has a work done against the gravity and expands up to high and we want to calculate the final temperature T2 of the air after raising when the pressure becomes p2=0.850×102pawhere the air is considered to be an ideal gas with y = 1.40

From equation 2nd

role="math" localid="1664298058353" T1T2γ-1=p2p1γ-1=T2T1p2p1γ-1=T2T1×T2T1y-1p2p1γ-1=T2T1yp2p1γ-1γ=T2T1

Substitute all the given values in equation in above equation

T2=T1p2p1y-1y

T2=299K×0.850×105Pa1.01×105Pa1.4-11.4T2=284.6K

Hence , The temperature of the air mass when it has risen isT2=284.6K andT2=11.6C° (In Celsius)

A cylinder with a piston contains 0.250 mol of oxygen at 2.40 * 105 Pa and 355 K. The oxygen may be treated as an ideal gas. The gas first expands isobarically to twice its original volume. It is then compressed isothermally back to its original volume, and finally it is cooled isochorically to its original pressure. (a) Show the series of processes on a pV-diagram. Compute (b) the temperature during the isothermal compression; (c) the maximum pressure; (d) the total work done by the piston on the gas during the series of processes.

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?

The process abc shown in the pV-diagram in Fig. E19.11 involves 0.0175 mol of an ideal gas. (a) What was the lowest temperature the gas reached in this process? Where did it occur? (b) How much work was done by or on the gas from a to b? From b to c? (c) If 215 J of heat was put into the gas during abc, how many of those joules went into internal energy?

Question:A 15.0-kg block of ice at 0.0°C melts to liquid water at 0.0°C inside a large room at 20.0°C. Treat the ice and the room as an isolated system, and assume that the room is large enough for its temperature change to be ignored. (a) Is the melting of the ice reversible or irreversible? Explain, using simple physical reasoning without resorting to any equations. (b) Calculate the net entropy change of the system during this process. Explain whether or not this result is consistent with your answer to part (a).

A diver observes a bubble of air rising from the bottom of a lake (where the absolute pressure is 3.50 atm) to the surface (where the pressure is 1.00 atm). The temperature at the bottom is 4.0°C, and the temperature at the surface is 23.0°C. (a) What is the ratio of the volume of the bubble as it reaches the surface to its volume at the bottom? (b) Would it be safe for the diver to hold his breath while ascending from the bottom of the lake to the surface? Why or why not?
