Chapter 1, Problem 27CQ
In a physics classroom demonstration, an instructor inflates a balloon by mouth and then cools it in liquid nitrogen. When cold, the shrunken balloon has a small amount of light blue liquid in it, as well as some snow-like crystals. As it warms up, the liquid boils, and part of the crystals sublime, with some crystals lingering for a while and then producing a liquid. Identify the blue liquid and the two solids in the cold balloon. Justify your identifications using data from Table 1.4.

The combined gas law PV=nRT is a very useful equation. From the equation one can see the relationships between the variables. Scenario: I just climbed to the top of mount Everest and it is a beautiful day. For a celebration I want to eat a dehydrated meal with raw chicken. This is safe to do so?
Questions to think about: What pressure is present on the top of Mt. Everest? Greater or less than the pressure at sea level? How does that relate to temperature? What temperature will water boil at the top of Mt. Everest? Will that temperature be hot enough to cook the raw chicken?

- Dry air is primarily composed of nitrogen. In a classroom demonstration, a physics instructor pours 2.00 L of liquid nitrogen into a beaker. After the nitrogen evaporates, how much volume does it occupy if its density is equal to that of the dry air at sea level? Liquid nitrogen has a density of 808 kg/m3.arrow_forwardThe average human has a density of 945 kg/m3 after in haling and 1 020 kg/m3 after exhaling.

- Gas flows through a gray pipe with various inner diameters from left to right. You attach a clear “E” shape pipe with fluid inside and observe the liquid levels rise as depicted in the figure. Using your knowledge of fluids in motion, rank in order from largest to smallest the fluid speeds Va ,Vb ,and Vc at points a,b, and c respectively. Explain your answer.arrow_forwardI asked this under chemistry but directed me to physics...thanks. Suppose you have two 100-mL graduated cylinders. In each cylinder there is 40.0 mL of water. You also have two cubes: one is lead (density = 11.3 g/mL), and the other is aluminum (density = 2.70 g/mL). Each cube measures 1.9 cm on each side. After you carefully lower each cube into the water of its own cylinder, what will the new water level be in each of the cylinders? I know that I will need to add the 40.0 mL water with the lead cube and then 40.0 mL water with the aluminum cube, but I can't figure out how to find the mass of the cubes since they are in cm. Thanks!arrow_forwardA sphygmomanometer is a device used to measure blood pressure, typically consisting of an inflatable cuff and a manometer used to measure air pressure in the cuff. In a mercury sphygmomanometer, blood pressure is related to the difference in heights between two columns of mercury.

Po The difference in mercury heights between the left tube and the right tube is 102 mmHg systolic blood pressure Pgauge = 0.102 m, a normal systolic reading. What is the gauge in pascals?
