- Two cylinders A and B at the same temperature contain the same quantity of the same kind of gas. Cylinder A has three times the volume of cylinder B. What can you conclude about the pressures the gases exert? (a) We can conclude nothing about the pressures. (b) The pressure in A is three times the pressure in B. (c) The pressures must be equal. (d) The pressure in A must be one-third the pressure in B.arrow_forwardThe height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170.00 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0 . What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to -10.0 ? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its coefficient of thermal expansion is the same as that of marble. Give your answer to five significant figures.arrow_forwardA company advertises that it delivers helium at a gauge pressure of 1.72107 Pa in a cylinder of volume 43.8 L. How many balloons can be inflated to a volume of 4.00 L with that amount of helium? Assume the pressure inside the balloons is 1.72105 Pa and the temperature in the cylinder and the balloons is 25.0 .arrow_forward
- A high—pressure gas cylinder contains 50.13L of toxic gas at a pressure of 1.40107N/m2 and a temperature of 25.0C. Its value leaks after the cylinder is dropped. The cylinder is cooled to dry ice temperature (78.5C) to reduce the leak rate and pressure so that it can be safely repaired. (a) What is the final pressure in the tank, assuming a negligible amount of gas leaks while being cooled and that there is no phase change? (b) What is the final pressure it onetenth of the gas escapes? (c) To what temperature must the tank be cooled to reduce the pressure to 1.00 atm (assuming the gas does not change phase and that there is no leakage during cooling)? (d) Does cooling the tank appear to be a practical solution?arrow_forwardQuestion: An instant pot pressure cooker has become popular in recent years. Given that the enthalpy of vaporization of water is 40.67 k/mol, calculate the boiling temperature (in Celcius) of water inside a pressure cooker that has been pressurized to 3.57 atm.arrow_forwardAnswer for A, and the answer has to be in mmarrow_forward
- A particle on the surface of the Earth can "escape" the Earth's gravitation and continue to move away from the Earth forever, if it has a sufficient speed (called the escape speed). (a) Determine the escape speed (in m/s) if the particle is an oxygen molecule. Use 6.37 x 106 m for radius of the Earth. m/s (b) Determine the temperature (in K) at which the rms speed of the oxygen molecule is 13 times the escape speed. T = K (c) What If? The Universe is composed of 75% hydrogen and 25% helium by mass, yet these gases are not found in the Earth's atmosphere. Calculate the temperatures (in K) for which the minimum escape kinetic energy is nine times the average kinetic energy of hydrogen (H₂) molecules and helium atoms.

Determine the drag force acting on the pipe per unit of its length when the air is at 1 atm and 10°C and the wind is blowing across the pipe at a speed of 50 km/h.arrow_forwardA) An unknown metal has a change in length of 0.01 m given a beam length of 3 m and atemperature change of 5-degree celsius. What is its expansion coefficient? B)Ice has a heat capacity of 125,400?/℃ give a temperature increase of 5℃ what is the energytransferred to the ice? c) If the Universal Gas Constant is ? = 8.134?/(???. ?) and the pressure of the gas is 30 ???in a volume of 115 ?3 at a temperature of 230 ?. What is the number of mole of the gas? d)A syringe has a volume of 5??3 and a temperature of 300 ?. Upon heating the syringeexpands to a volume is now 5.5??3, what is the temperature of the syringe? e)A gas is held in a container of 15 ?3in volume and a pressure of 5 ??. If the volume isincreased to 26 ?3 what is the pressure of the gas? f)The position of a particle is given by the equation ?(?) = 3? + 5. What is the position at 6 ?.arrow_forward
- You accidentally lose your Helium-filled balloon which floats to the ceiling. The balloon is initially inflated to a radius of 6 inches (assume a sphere). The balloon’s empty mass is 10 g. The density of the rubber is 0.8 g/cm3. Assuming the contents of the balloon are purely helium @ p=1 atm, T=300 K, how much less mass is in the He balloon than in an equivalent balloon full of air? What is the amount of lift generated by the He balloon?arrow_forwardAn automobile tire having a temperature of 6.4°C (a cold tire on a cold day) is filled to a gauge pressure of 28 lb/in². What would be the gauge pressure in the tire when its temperature rises to 41°C? For simplicity, assume that the volume of the tire. remains constant, that the air does not leakarrow_forwardDon't use chat gptarrow_forward
