Entropy is important. In picking and choosing topics for questions, I did not choose an entropy question for this hour exam. I expect ideas of entropy may reappear on the final exam.
= 24 x 10
6(Co) - 1 and the coefficient of thermal expansion
for brass is = 19 x
10 - 6 (Co) - 1 Lo = 5.000 0 cm (or Lo =
5 x 10 - 2 m) to 5.050 0 cm.
That is an increase of
L
= 0.050 cm = 5 x 10 - 4 m.
L = a Lo
T
T
= [L ] / [ a Lo ] T = [ 5 x 10
- 4 m ] / [ ( 24 x 10 - 6 (Co) - 1 )
( 5 x 10 - 2 m )] T = 417 Co
2. (20.***) A calorimeter contains 500 mL of water at 30oC and 300 g of ice at 0oC.
Determine thefinal temperature of the system or how much ice melts.
That is, . . .
If all the ice melts, determine the final temperature of the system.
If the final temperature is 0oC, determine how much ice melts.
Be sure to take care of a change of state -- due to the melting of the ice -- as well as a temperature change.
Qwater + Qice = 0
Qwater = cw mw T
Qwater = (4186 J/kg-Co) (0.500 kg) (Tf - 30oC)
Qwater = 2093 Tf (J/Co) - 62,790 J
Now, how much heat is gained by the ice? Does all of the ice melt? We do not
know. So we must make an assumption -- or a guess. We then have
to see if our result is consistent with that assumption.
Assumption: All the ice melts and Tf > 0oC
Be sure to check for consistency with our final answer and this assumption.
This ice is initially at 0oC so heat that it gains immediatly starts
to melt the ice. Remember, mice = m2 = 25 g = 0.025
kg. m2 is the mass of the ice after it has melted and is water at
0oC.
Qice = Qmelt + Qraise
Qice = mice Lf + c m2 T
Qice = (0.025 kg)(3.33 x 105 J/kg) + (4186 J/kg-Co)
(0.025 kg) (Tf - 0oC)
Qice = (0.025)(3.33 x 105 J) + (4186 J/Co)
(0.025 kg) Tf
Qice = 8,325 J + 105 Tf (J/Co)
Qwater + Qice = 0
[2093 Tf (J/Co) - 62,790 J] + [ 8,325 J + 105
Tf (J/Co)] = 0
(2093 + 105) Tf (J/Co) - (62,790 - 8,325) J= 0
2198 Tf (J/Co) - 54,465 J= 0
2198 Tf (J/Co) = 54,465 J
Tf = (54,465 / 2198) oC
Tf = 24.8oC
3. (20.39) An ideal gas undergoes a thermodynamic process that consists
of two isobaric and two isothermal steps as shown here:
Give all your answers in terms only of the pressures P1 and
P2 and the volumes V1 and V2 and other constants
like n, R, k. Do not use T in your answers.
In terms of the pressures P1 and P2 and the volumes V1
and V2;
Find the two temperatures of the two isotherms, T1 and T2,
and
Find the work done along the path from A to B, WAB.
Look at state A, where V = VA = V1 and P = P1
and T = T1.
There, the ideal gas law
P V = n R T
becomes
P1 V1 = n R T1
or
TAB = T1 = P1 V1 /
n R
Likewise, T2, the temperature along the isotherm from C to D, is
TCD = T2 = P2 V2 /
n R
Wisotherm = n R T ln[Vf/Vi]
For our path from A to B, this means
WAB = n R T ln[VB/VA]
We know VA = V1. But what is VB in terms of
the given state variables? For that, we will go back to the Ideal Gas Law,
P V = n R T
PB VB = n R TB
P2 VB = n R T1
P2 VB = n R ( P1 V1 / n R ) = P1
V1
VB = (P1 / P2) V1
Now we can complete the expression for WAB,
WAB = n R T1 ln[VB/VA]
WAB = n R T1 ln[{(P1 / P2) V1}/V1]
WAB = n R T1 ln[P1 / P2]
But we know T1 = P1 V1 / n R
WAB = n R (P1 V1 / n R) ln[P1 /
P2]
WAB = (P1 V1 ) ln[P1 / P2]
4. (21.13) Calculate the change in internal energy of 3.0 moles of an
ideal gas when its temperature is increased by 2.0 K.
For an ideal gas, we have
U = (3/2) n R T
DU = (3/2) n R DT
DU = (3/2) (3 moles) (8.31 J/mole-K) (2.0 K)
DU = 74.8 J
5. (22.2) A heat engine performs 200 J of work in each cycle and has
an efficiency of 30%. For each cycle, how much thermal energy is
(a) absorbed and
Qh = W/e
Qh = 200 J/0.30
Qh = 667 J
(b) expelled?
1 - [Qc/Qh] = e = 0.30
Qc/Qh = 1 - 0.30
Qc/Qh = 0.70
Qc = Qh (0.70)
Qc = (667 J) (0.70)
Qc = 467 J
Conceptual Questions —
A. Metal lids on glass jars can often be loosened by running them under
hot water. How is this possible?
19.Q17: Metal lids on glass jars can often be loosened by running them under hot water. How is this possible?
The coefficient of thermal expansion is much greater for metals than for glass.Heating a metal lid on a glass jar will cause the metal lid to expand far more than the glass. This should allow you to unscrew the metal lid from the glass jar.
B. Why can you get "burned" by biting into the hot CHEESE on a
steaming pizza far easier than by biting into the CRUST of the pizza?
Now we can also answer the "Puzzler" question about the pizza.
Cheese is primarily water with a large heat capacity while the crust has very
little water and a very small heat capacity.
C. One container is filled with helium gas and another with argon gas. If
both containers are at the same temperature, which molecules have the higher
rms speed?
Q21.2 One container is filled with helium gas and another with argon
gas. If both containers areat the same temperature, which molecules have the
higher rms speed?
At the same temperature, the average value of the translational kinetic energy
[(1/2) m <v2>] will be the same for both helium and argon.
Argon has a larger mass so it will have a smaller value of <v2>
or vrms. Helium has a smaller mass so it will have a larger value
of <v2> or vrms.
D. Use the first law of thermodynamics to explain why the total energy of
an isolated system is always constant.
Q22.3 Use the first law of thermodynamics to explain why the total
energy of an isolated system is always constant.
The first law of thermodynamics is just a restatement of Energy Conservation.
If a system is isolated no work is done on it and no heat is transferred to
or from it. Energy may be transferred from one part of the system to another
but the total energy remains constant.
