One 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.)
A construction worker uses a steel tape to measure the length of an aluminum support column. If the measured length is 18.700 m when the temperature is 21.2C, what is the measured length when the temperature rises to 29.4C? Note: Dont neglect the expansion of the tape.

5. You are cooling a dish that was taken out of the oven with an internal temperature of 180°F. After 10 minutes outside in a 70°F apartment, the temperature of the dish has reached 160°F. (a) Using Newton's Law of Cooling, set up a differential equation and show why temperature y of the dish after t minutes out of the oven, is described by the function y(t) = 70+110ekt where k is the cooling constant (you must find). (b) If the dish is safe to eat at 120°F, use the function in (a) to predict how long it needs to be left outside the oven.
