Chapter 3: Q4DQ (page 638)

If you are told the initial and final states of a system and the associated change in internal energy, can you determine whether the internal energy change was due to work or to heat transfer? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

It depends on the process of progressing from one state to another.

Step by step solution

01

Explanation

We could not say that because it depends on the process of progressing from one state to another. If the process is isochoric then all the change is due to heat transfer, if the process is adiabatic then all change is due to work.

02

Conclusion

Hence, it depends on the process of progressing from one state to another.

The inside of an oven is at a temperature of 200掳 C (392掳 F). You can put your hand in the oven without injury as long as you don鈥檛 touch anything. But since the air inside the oven is also at 200掳 C, why isn鈥檛 your hand burned just the same?

For the following processes, is the work done by the system (defined as the expanding or contracting gas) on the environment positive or negative?

(a) expansion of the burned gasoline鈥揳ir mixture in the cylinder of an automobile engine

(b) opening a bottle of champagne

(c) filling a scuba tank with compressed air

(d) partial crumpling of a sealed, empty water bottle as you drive from the mountains down to sea level.

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掳 C. Despite its high temperature, the water doesn鈥檛 boil. Why not?

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.

The kinetic-molecular model contains a hidden assumption about the temperature of the container walls. What is this assumption? What would happen if this assumption were not valid?
