Interpretation:
The probability that a coin would come up heads has to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
The term probability is used to indicate the possibilities of the desired outcomes. The value of probability lies from

- Define the following terms: potential energy, kinetic energy, path-dependent function, state function, system, surroundings.arrow_forwardStarting with equation 2.27 andthe original definitionof enthalpy, derive the fact that Cp-=Cv-+Rarrow_forwardDescribe the interconversions of potential and kinetic energy in a moving pendulum. A moving pendulum eventually comes to rest. Has the energy been lost? If not, what has happened to it?arrow_forward
- The statement Energycan beneithercreatednor destroyedis sometimes used as an equivalent statement of the first law of thermodynamics. There areinaccuracies to the statement, however. Restate it tomake it less inaccurate.arrow_forward• define state functions and explain their importance.arrow_forwardNiagara Falls has a height of 167 ft (American Falls). What is the potential energy in joules of 1.00 lb of water at the top of the falls if we take water at the bottom to have a potential energy of zero? What would be the speed of this water at the bottom of the falls if we neglect friction during the descent of the water?arrow_forward
- What are the two ways that a final chemical state of a system can be more probable than its initial state?arrow_forwardExplain why absolute enthalpies and energies cannot be measured, and only changes can be determined.arrow_forwardWould the amount of heat absorbed by the dissolution in Example 5.6 appear greater, lesser, or remain the same if the heat capacity of the calorimeter were taken into account? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- Consider a system similar to the one in Figure 16.8, except that it contains six particles instead of four. What is the probability of having all the particles in only one of the two boxes in the case? Compare this with the similar probability for the system of four particles that we have derived to be equal to 18 . What does this comparison tell us about even larger systems?arrow_forwardChlorine dioxide, ClO2, is a reddish yellow gas used in bleaching paper pulp. The average speed of a ClO2 molecule at 25C is 306 m/s. What is the kinetic energy (in joules) of a ClO2 molecule moving at this speed?arrow_forwardA 1.00 mol sample of H2 is carefully warmed from 22 K to 40 K at constant volume. a What is the expected heat capacity of the hydrogen? b What is q for the process?arrow_forward
