- A hollow aluminum cylinder 20.0 cm deep has an internal capacity of 2.000 L at 20.0C. It is completely filled with turpentine at 20.0C. The turpentine and the aluminum cylinder are then slowly warmed together to 80.0C. (a) How much turpentine overflows? (b) What is the volume of the turpentine remaining in the cylinder at 80.0C? (c) If the combination with this amount of turpentine is then cooled back to 20.0C, how far below the cylinders rim does the turpentines surface recede?arrow_forwardA hollow aluminum cylinder 20.0 cm deep has an internal capacity of 2.000 L at 20.0C.

- (a) Use the ideal gas equation to estimate the temperature at which 1.00 kg of steam (molar mass M=18.0 g/mol) at a pressure of 1.50106 Pa occupies a volume of 0.220 m3. (b) The van der Waals constants for water are a=0.5537 Pa m6/mol2 and b=3.049105 m3/mol. Use the Van der Waals equation of state to estimate the temperature under the same conditions. (c) The actual temperature is 779 K. Which estimate is better? `arrow_forwardIf a gas undergoes an isobaric process, which of the following statements is true? (a) The temperature of the gas doesnt change. (b) Work is done on or by the gas. (c) No energy is transferred by heat to or from the gas. (d) The volume of the gas remains the same. (e) The pressure of the gas decreases uniformly.arrow_forwardOne way to cool a gas is to let it expand. When a certain gas under a pressure of 5.00 106 Ha at 25.0C is allowed to expand to 3.00 times its original volume, its final pressure is 1.07 106 Pa. (a) What is the initial temperature of the gas in Kelvin? (b) What is the final temperature of the system? (See Section 10.4.)arrow_forward

(b) If a pendulums period is given by T=2L/g, where L is its length, does the change in length of the rod cause the clock to run fast or slow?arrow_forwardMarkings to indicate length are placed on a steel tape in a room that is at a temperature of 22C. Measurements are then made with the same tape on a day when the temperature is 27C. Assume the objects you are measuring have a smaller coefficient of linear expansion than steel. Are the measurements (a) too long, (b) too short, or (c) accurate?arrow_forwardTwo cylinders A and B at the same temperature contain the same quantity of the same kind of gas.
