Concept explainers

Diatomic Gas

Molecule, is a collection of two or more atoms together (which constitute the smallest observable unit) into a pure material. There are some ways to represent the structure of a molecule. Factor symbols represent atoms in Lewis structures, and dots represent electrons that accompany them. A pair of mutual electrons (covalent bond) may be represented by a single dash. The ball-and-stick model depicts the spatial structure of the atoms better.

Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into thermal energy. If a woman rubs her hands back and forth for a total of 20 rubs, at a distance of 7.50 cm per rub, and with an average frictional force of 40.0 N, what is the temperature increase? The mass of tissues warmed is only 0.100 kg mostly in the palms and fingers. Your answer must have three significant figures and the temperature change in centigrade.
A 45-kg person drinks 5.6 × 102 g of milk, which has a caloric value of approximately 3.0 kJ/g. If only 17 percent of the energy in milk is converted to mechanical work, how high (in meters) can the person climb based on this energy intake? Enter your answer in scientific notation. Hint: The work done in ascending is given by mgh, where m is the mass (in kg), g is the gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s2), and h is the height (in meters).
The human body is not perfectly efficient. In fact, only about 20% of the Calories we consume are used for mechanical work (i.e., moving the body around).

A metal bar in a low temperature physics experiment with mass m = 89 kg had its temperature raised from T1 = 26 K to T2 = 46 K. The metal bar has a specific heat that is a function of temperature:c(T) = A + αT, where A = 380 J/(kg⋅K) and α = 9.9 J/(kg⋅K2). Note the metal bar does not change in volume as it is heated. Calculate the amount of heat Q in joules required to raise the temperature on the metal bar as stated. Calculate heat released by the metal bar when cooling from T2 to T1 without any change in volume. Write an approximation of the c(T) for the metal rod for very high temperatures (say T >> 1000 K).

An average car consumes about 5 L of gasoline a day, and the capacity of the fuel tank of a car is about 50 L. Therefore, a car needs to be refueled once every 10 days. Also, the density of gasoline ranges from 0.68 to 0.78 kg/L, and its lower heating value is about 44,000 kJ/kg (i.e., 44,000 kJ of heat is released when 1 kg of gasoline is completely burned). Suppose all the problems associated with the radioactivity and waste disposal of nuclear fuels are resolved, and a car is to be powered by U-235. If a new car comes equipped with 0.1-kg of the nuclear fuel U-235, determine if this car will ever need refueling under average driving conditions
