A car tire contains 0.0440 m3 of air at a pressure of 2.75 x 10° N/m2 (about 40 psi). How much more internal energy (in J) does this gas have than the same volume has at zero gauge pressure
(which is equivalent to normal atmospheric pressure)? (Assume the tire pressure of 2.75 x 105 N/m2 is absolute pressure, not gauge pressure. Assume for this question that air is monatomic.)

- The molar heat capacities of gases are not perfectly constant, as we've assumed, but increase slowly with temperature. An empirical formula for the molar heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen is Cv = (20.6 - 1.6 × 10¯³T +8.0 × 10¯67²) J/mol K, where T is in K. What is the entropy increase of the gas if 5.0 g of nitrogen in a rigid container are slowly heated from 300°C to 500°C?

- Q.17 Consider two identical, finite, isolated systems of constant heat capacity C at temperatures T, and T2 (T> T:). An engine works between them until their temperatures become equal. Taking into account that the work performed by the engine will be maximum (= Wmax) if the process is reversible (equivalently, the entropy change of the entire system is zero), the value of Wmax is: (A) C(T, – T2) (B) C (T, – T2)/2 (C) C(T, + T2 -- T;T2) (D) C(/T, - T)arrow_forwardIn answering the questions in this problem, assume that the molecules in air (mainly N2 and O2) have five degrees of freedom at this temperature (three translational and two rotational). What is the internal energy U of one mole of air on a very hot summer day (35∘C)? What is the internal energy U of one mole of air on a typical winter day in Boston when the air temperature is −8.0∘C. To put these results in perspective, determine how high one mole of air has to be lifted to gain a potential energy equal to the difference in the energies found in Part A and Part B. (Take the mass of one mole of air to be 28.9 g.)arrow_forwarddU =T dS – P dV Re-arrange the thermodynamic identity by solving for dS. Assume we are applying this new expression to an ideal gas, re-write the du term in terms of the appropriate heat capacity and temperature. Re-write the coefficient of the dV term in terms of volume. Connect these “classical" expressions for entropy to the "modern" interpretation where we are concerned with the uncertainty associated with position and momentum of the particles in an ideal gas. Answer with sentences. Now, re-write the expression in terms of enthalpy so you can connect entropy with enthalpy. Expalin why this final expression makes sense.arrow_forward
