(a) Compute the specific heat at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas, and compare it with the specific heat of liquid water. The molar mass of N2 is 28.0 g/mol. (b) you warm 1.00 kg of water at a constant volume of 1.00 L from 20.0°C to 30.0°C in a kettle. For the same amount of heat, how many kilograms of 20.0°C air would you be able to warm to 30.0°C? What volume (in litters) would this air occupy at 20.0°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm? Make the simplifying assumption that air is 100% N2

Short Answer

Expert verified

The specific heat of nitrogen isc=742.3J/kgK

The mass of warmed nitrogen ismn2=5.6kg

The volume of warmed nitrogen is V=4.85m3

Step by step solution

01

Data, Assumption and Equation

Given data;

Mass of the nitrogenM=28×10-3kg/mol

Specific heat of watercwater=4190J/molK

Temperature difference ∆T=10.0K

Presser is P=1atm=1.013×155Pa

Gas constantR=8.314J/molK

Assumption;

Air is 100% N2

Equation;

Specific heat capacity of nitrogen

c=5R3M .......... (1)

The amount of heat that is warm up

Q=mcwater∆T .......... (2)

The mass of the warmed nitrogen

mn2=Qcn2∆T .......... (3)

The ideal gas law

V=nRTP=mRTMP .......... (4)

 Step 2: Find specific heat capacity of nitrogen

(a)

Put values in equation (1)

c=528.314J/molK24×10−3kg/mol=742.3J/kg⋅K

Hence, the specific heat of nitrogen is742.3J/kgâ‹…K

03

Find the mass of the warmed nitrogen

(b)

Put values in equation (2)

Q=1.00kg4190J/molK10.0K=4.19×104J

Put this value in equation (3)

mn2=4.19×104J(742.3J/kgKK)(10.0K)=5.64kg

Hence, the mass of warmed nitrogen isrole="math" localid="1668187245250" mn2=5.6kg

04

Find the volume of the warmed nitrogen

Put the all the values in equation (4)

V=(5.65kg)(8.314J/molK)(293K)28.014×10−3kg/mol1.013×105Pa=4.85m3

Hence, the volume of warmed nitrogen is V=4.85m3

Question:You make tea with 0.250 kg of 85.0°C water and let it cool to room temperature (20.0°C). (a) Calculate the entropy change of the water while it cools. (b) The cooling process is essentially isothermal for the air in your kitchen. Calculate the change in entropy of the air while the tea cools, assuming that all of the heat lost by the water goes into the air. What is the total entropy change of the system tea + air?

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 container with volume 1.64 L is initially evacuated. Then it is filled with 0.226g of N2. Assume that the pressure of the gas is low enough for the gas to obey the ideal-gas law to a high degree of accuracy. If the root-mean-square speed of the gas molecules is 182 m/s, what is the pressure of the gas?

You propose a new temperature scale with temperatures given in °M. You define 0.0°M to be the normal melting point of mercury and 100.0°M to be the normal boiling point of mercury. (a) What is the normal boiling point of water in °M? (b) A temperature change of 10.0 °M corresponds to how many °C?

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?
