A large cylindrical tank contains 0.750m3of nitrogen gas at role="math" localid="1668235464848" 27°Cand 7.50*103Pa(absolute pressure). The tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume to be changed. What will be the pressure if the volume is decreased to 0.410m3and the temperature is increased to157°C?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The pressure attained when the volume is decreased to0.410m3 and the temperature is increased to157°C is 19.66*103Pa.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for pressure from the ideal gas equation

The ideal gas equation is PV=nRT, whereP is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the universal gas constant, T is the temperature.

Write this as an equation for pressure P=nRTV, modified for initial and final cases as,

P1=nRT1V1

P2=nRT2V2., where n and R are constants. Combining both equations P2P1=T2V2T1V1, solve for the final pressureP2 as P2=P1T2V1T1V2.

02

Calculating   pressure

Substitute the values for P1=7.50*103Pa,T2=157∘C=157+273=430K,V1=0.750m3,V2=0.410m3,T1=27∘C=27+273=300KinP2=P1T2V1T1V2P2=7.50*103*430*0.750300*0.410P2=19.66*103Pa

Hence, the new pressure attained is 19.66*103Pa.

Question: If the air temperature is the same as the temperature of your skin (about 30°C), your body cannot get rid of heat by transferring it to the air. In that case, it gets rid of the heat by evaporating water (sweat). During bicycling, a typical 70-kg person’s body produces energy at a rate of about 500W due to metabolism, 80% of which is converted to heat. (a) How many kilograms of water must the person’s body evaporate in an hour to get rid of this heat? The heat of vaporization of water at body temperature is 2.42×106J/kg. (b) The evaporated water must, of course, be replenished, or the person will dehydrate. How many 750-mL bottles of water must the bicyclist drink per hour to replenish the lost water? (Recall that the mass of a litre of water is 1.0 kg.

In which situation must you do more work: inflating a balloon at sea level or inflating the same balloon to the same volume at the summit of Mt. McKinley? Explain in terms of pressure and volume change.

A cylindrical tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume of the tank to be changed. The tank originally contains 0.110 m3of air at a pressure of 0.355 atm. The piston is slowly pulled out until the volume of the gas is increased to 0.390 m3. If the temperature remains constant, what is the final value of the pressure?

The efficiency of heat engines is high when the temperature difference between the hot and cold reservoirs is large. Refrigerators, on the other hand, work better when the temperature difference is small. Thinking of the mechanical refrigeration cycle shown in Fig. 20.9, explain in physical terms why it takes less work to remove heat from the working substance if the two reservoirs (the inside of the refrigerator and the outside air) are at nearly the same temperature, than if the outside air is much warmer than the interior of the refrigerator.

Explain why it would not make sense to use a full-size glass thermometer to measure the temperature of a thimbleful of hot water.
