Chapter 3: Q9E (page 574)

An experimenter using a gas thermometer found the pressure at the triple point of water (0.01掳C) to be 4.80脳104Paand the pressure at the normal boiling point (100掳C) to be6.50脳104Pa. (a) Assuming that the pressure varies linearly with temperature, use these two data points to find the Celsius temperature at which the gas pressure would be zero (that is, find the Celsius temperature of absolute zero). (b) Does the gas in this thermometer obey Eq. (17.4) precisely? If that equation were precisely obeyed and the pressure at 100掳C were6.40脳104Pa, what pressure would the experimenter have measured at 0.01潞C?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The Celsius temperature at which the gas pressure is zero is -282掳C.

(b) The pressure measured at 0.01潞C is 4.76脳104Pawhich suggests that the equation is not precisely followed.

Step by step solution

01

(a) Determination of Celsius temperature at which the gas pressure is zero.

The linear relation of pressure and temperature is,

p2=p1+yT2-T1

Solve for y,

y=p2-p1T2-T1

Substitute the values given to obtain the value of y,

y=6.50脳104Pa-4.80脳104Pa100掳C-0.01掳C=170.0Pa/C掳

Now for zero gas pressure, p=0. Thus, The temperature at the zero pressure of the gas is,

T=T1-p1y0.01掳C-4.80脳104Pa170.0Pa/C掳=-282掳C

02

(b) Determination of the pressure at the temperature 0.01ºC.

For this case,

T1=100掳C+273.15=373.15K and T2=0.01掳C+273.15=273.16K

Use equation, T2T1=P2P1, Here, T is in units of K in order to obtain the value of pressure.

localid="1664357082266" P2=P1T2T1P2=6.50脳104Pa273.16K373.15K=4.76脳104Pa

The measured pressure is 4.80脳104Paand the calculated pressure is 4.76脳104Pa. Therefore, the equation is not precisely followed.

A gas undergoes two processes. In the first, the volume remains constant at 0.200 m3 and the pressure increases from 2.00 x 105 Pa to 5.00 x 105 Pa. The second process is a compression to a volume of 0.120 m3 at a constant pressure of 5.00 x 105 Pa. (a) In a pV-diagram, show both processes. (b) Find the total work done by the gas during both processes.

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

An empty cylindrical canister 1.50 m long and 90.0 cm in diameter is to be filled with pure oxygen at 22.0掳C to store in a space station. To hold as much gas as possible, the absolute pressure of the oxygen will be 21.0 atm. The molar mass of oxygen is 32.0 g>mol. (a) How many moles of oxygen does this canister hold? (b) For someone lifting this canister, by how many kilograms does this gas increase the mass to be lifted?

If the power plant uses a Carnot cycle and the desired theoretical efficiency is 6.5%, from what depth must cold water be brought? (a)100 m; (b400 m; (c)800 m; (d) deeper than1000 m.

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.
