In this problem you will consider the balance of thermal energy radiated and absorbed by a person. Assume that the person is wearing only a skimpy bathing suit of negligible area. As a rough approximation, the area of a human body may be considered to be that of the sides of a cylinder length L = 2.0 m and circumference C = 0.8 m. For the Stefan-Boltzmann constant use o = 5.67 x 10-8 W/m2 /K4.
An insulated container contains two moles of an ideal gas at atmospheric pressure. Keeping the pressure constant, if the temperature of the gas is increased by 50 °C, then its volume increases by 400 cm3 and if the temperature is increased by 100 °C, then its volume increases by 600 cm³. Determine the initial volume and temperature of the gas. (Write the equation of ideal gas initially, after the temperature increase of 50 °C, and after increase of temperature by 100 °C. Combine these three equations to find the initial volume and temperature)
Starting from the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy for an ideal gas, find the value of the molar heat capacity of an ideal gas when its temperature is changed at constant volume. Find its molar heat capacity when its temperature is changed at constant pressure.
