Water bottle in a hot car. In the American Southwest, the temperature in a closed car parked in sunlight during the summer can be high enough to burn flesh. Suppose a bottle of water at a refrigerator temperature of 5.00°C is opened, then closed, and then left in a closed car with an internal temperature of 75.0°C. Neglecting the thermal expansion of the water and the bottle, find the pressure in the air pocket trapped in the bottle. (The pressure can be enough to push the bottle cap past the threads that are intended to keep the bottle closed.)

- For a temperature increase of 10 at constant volume, what is the heat absorbed by (a) 3.0 mol of a dilute monatomic gas; (b) 0.50 mol of a dilute diatomic gas; and (c) 15 mol of a dilute polyatomic gas?arrow_forwardAn ideal gas initially at 300 K undergoes an isobaric expansion at 2.50 kPa. If the volume increases from 1.00 m3 to 3.00 m3 and 12.5 kJ is transferred to the gas by heat, what are (a) the change in its internal energy and (b) its final temperature?arrow_forwardDuring a cold winter day, wind at 55 km/h is blowing parallel to a 4-m-high and 10-m-long wall of a house. If the air outside is at 5°C and the surface temperature of the wall is 12°C, determine the rate of heat loss from that wall by convection. What would your answer be if the wind velocity was doubled?arrow_forward
- A solid steel cube is stored in a freezer, where the temperature is -20.0 °C. While the cube is in the freezer, you measure its side length (L) to be 1.75050 meters. The cube is then placed outside for a long time, so that the temperature of the cube reaches the temperature of the air outside. As a result, the side length increases to 1.75170 meters due to thermal expansion. The coefficient of linear expansion for steel is 12.0×10-6 °C-1. (a) What is the temperature of the air outside? Give your answer in degrees Celsius ('C). (b) What is the volume of the cube when its temperature is 20.0 °C? Give your answer in cubic meters (m3).arrow_forwardThe inner tube of a Pyrex glass mercury thermometer has a diameter of 0.110 mm.

- A certain amount of gas at 25.0°C and at a pressure of 0.650 atm is contained in a glass vessel. Suppose that the vessel can withstand a pressure of 2.00 atm. How high can you raise the temperature of the gas without bursting the vessel? In other words, at what temperature will the glass vessel shatter, in degrees Celsius.arrow_forwardThe band in the figure below is stainless steel (coefficient of linear expansion = 17.3 ✕ 10−6°C−1; Young's modulus = 18 ✕ 1010 N/m2).

Air is heated as it flows over resistance wires. Consider a 15-kW electric heating system. Air enters the heating section at 100 kPa and 17°C with a volume flow rate of 150 m3/min. If heat is lost from the air in the duct to the surroundings at a rate of 200 W, determine the exit temperature of air.arrow_forward
