Chapter 13.1, Problem 2cT
Consider the following student dialogue.
| Student 1: | “According to the ideal |
| Student 2: | “That’s right. Since no gas entered or left the system, the volume did not change. So the pressure must have increased.” |
Do you agree with either of the students? Explain your reasoning.

A cargo ship has tanks for carrying fuel oil. The oil is measured in barrels, while the tank dimensions are in meters, 1m x 5m x 15m. How many barrels does the tank hold? How many gallons? (42 gal = 1 barrel)
A gas is contained in a cylinder with a moveable piston on which a heavy block is placed. Suppose the region outside the chamber is evacuated and the total mass of the block and the movable piston is 102 kg. When 2140 J of heat flows into the gas, the internal energy of the gas increases by 1580 J. what is the distance through which the piston rises?
Using the combined gas law, calculate the following. Also, what other law could you have used to solve this problem? Use details to support your answer.Some teenagers think that their parents are “full of hot air.” Your mom inhales 4 liters of air with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. Since you think she is full of hot air, this temperature must increase while the air is in her lungs. If this air heats up to 37 degrees Celsius, what is the new volume of the gas? (Note that 37 degrees Celsius is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, which is normal body temperature.) Remember to pay close attention to the units of temperature before beginning your calculations.

- Please write the detailed solution. Please make sure that your handwritten is readable. Thank you. Energy is conventionally measured in Calories as well as in joules. One Calorie in nutrition is 1 kilocalorie, which we define as 1 kcal=4 186 J. Metabolizing 1 gram of fat can release 9.00 kcal. A student decides to try to lose weight by exercising. She plans to run up and down the stairs in a football stadium as fast as she can and as many times as necessary. Is this a practical way to lose weight? To evaluate the program, suppose she runs up a flight of 100 steps, each 0.20 m high, in 45.0 s. For simplicity, ignore the energy she uses in coming down (which is small). Assume that a typical efficiency for human muscles is 20.0%. This means that when your body converts 100 J from metabolizing fat, 20 J goes into doing mechanical work (here, climbing stairs). The remainder goes into internal energy. Assume the student's mass is 65.0 kg. (a) How many times must she run the flight of stairs…arrow_forwardPart d) and f), please.
