Question:
1). Compare the heat needed in taking 1 kg of gold from 25° C to 2700° C to taking 1 kg water from (– 30° C) to 1000° C. Which is more and why?
-Given temperature changes don’t happen until the phase changes, there should
be some dependance on the amount of stuff (mass) changing phase and there is:
Q = m Lv (vaporizing/condensing)
Q = m Lf (melting/freezing)
-The photos should be helpful

- Two glass bulbs of volumes 500 cm3 and 200 cm3 are connected by a narrow tube of negligible volume. The apparatus is filled with air and sealed. The initial pressure of the air is 1.0 105 Pa, and the initial temperature is 17C. The smaller bulb is immersed in a large amount of ice at 0C, and the larger bulb is immersed in a large pot of boiling water at a temperature of 100C for a long period of time. Determine the final pressure of the air in the bulbs. Ignore any change in the volume of the glass. Model the air as an ideal gas.arrow_forwardBeryllium has roughly one-half the specific heat of water (H2O).

As it travels 16.8 m to home plate, the ball slows down to 42.5 m/s because of air resistance. Find the change in temperature of the air through which it passes. To find the greatest possible temperature change, you may make the following assumptions. Air has a molar specific heat of CP = 72IR and an equivalent molar mass of 28.9 g/mol. The process is so rapid that the cover of the baseball acts as thermal insulation and the temperature of the ball itself does not change. A change in temperature happens initially only for the air in a cylinder 16.8 m in length and 3.70 cm in radius. This air is initially at 20.0C.arrow_forward
