Chapter 3: Q9DQ (page 639)

Imagine a gas made up entirely of negatively charged electrons. Like charges repel, the electrons exert repulsive forces on each other. Would you expect that the temperature of such a gas would rise, fall, or stay the same in a free expansion? Why?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There will be a fall in the temperature of the gas.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:

In the expansion, the repulsive force between the electrons would do positive work as electrons move apart.

O~=0and W > 0 so U > 0 and temperature would fall.

02

Step 2:

Therefore, the temperature of the gas will fall.

Explain why each of the following processes is an example of increasing randomness: mixing hot and cold water; free expansion of a gas; irreversible heat flow; developing heat by mechanical friction. Are entropy increases involved in all of these? Why or why not?

In addition to the normal cooking directions printed on the back of a box of rice, there are also 鈥渉igh-altitude directions.鈥� The only difference is that the 鈥渉igh-altitude directions鈥� suggest increasing the cooking time and using a greater volume of boiling water in which to cook the rice. Why should the directions depend on the altitude in this way?

Imagine a special air filter placed in a window of a house. The tiny holes in the filter allow only air molecules moving faster than a certain speed to exit the house, and allow only air molecules moving slower than that speed to enter the house from outside. What effect would this filter have on the temperature inside the house? (It turns out that the second law of thermodynamics鈥攚hich we will discuss in Chapter 20鈥攖ells us that such a wonderful air filter would be impossible to make.)

Q18.25: The atmosphere of the planet Mars is 95.3% carbon dioxideCO2and about 0.03% water vapor. The atmospheric pressure is only about 600 Pa, and the surface temperature varies from -30 掳C to -100 掳C. The polar ice caps contain bothCO2ice and water ice. Could there be liquidCO2on the surface of Mars? Could there be liquid water? Why or why not?

-18.22 (a) If you apply the same amount of heat to 1.00 mol of an ideal monatomic gas and 1.00 mol of an ideal diatomic gas, which one (if any) will increase more in temperature? (b) Physically, why do diatomic gases have a greater molar heat capacity than mono-atomic gases?
