Chapter 32, Problem 18A
What is lightning?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To explain: The term lightning.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Lightning is due to difference of charge or potential difference between the bottom of cloud and surface of the ground.
Lightning is the electric discharge takes place between the ground and clouds, or between the two clouds or within the clouds. Lightning is followed by Thunder. Cloud to ground lightning is very destructive in nature.

- 10. Imagine you have a system in which you have 54 grams of ice. You can melt this ice and then vaporize it all at 0 C. The melting and vaporization are done reversibly into a balloon held at a pressure of 0.250 bar. Here are some facts about water you may wish to know. The density of liquid water at 0 C is 1 g/cm³. The density of ice at 0 C is 0.917 g/cm³. The enthalpy of vaporization of liquid water is 2.496 kJ/gram and the enthalpy of fusion of solid water is 333.55 J/gram.arrow_forwardConsider 1 mole of supercooled water at -10°C. Calculate the entropy change of the water when the supercooled water freezes at -10°C and 1 atm. Useful data: Cp (ice) = 38 J mol-1 K-1 Cp (water) 75J mol −1 K -1 Afus H (0°C) 6026 J mol −1 Assume Cp (ice) and Cp (water) to be independent of temperature.arrow_forwardThe molar enthalpy of vaporization of benzene at its normal boiling point (80.09°C) is 30.72 kJ/mol. Assuming that AvapH and AvapS stay constant at their values at 80.09°C, calculate the value of AvapG at 75.0°C, 80.09°C, and 85.0°C. Hint: Remember that the liquid and vapor phases will be in equilibrium at the normal boiling point.arrow_forward
- 3. The entropy of an ideal gas is S = Nkg In V. Entropy is a state function rather than a path function, and in this problem, you will show an example of the entropy change for an ideal gas being the same when you go between the same two states by two different pathways. A. Express ASV = S2 (V2) - S₁(V1), the change in entropy upon changing the volume from V₁to V2, at fixed particle number N and energy, U. B. Express ASN = S₂(N₂) - S₁ (N₁), the change in entropy upon changing the particle number from N₁ to N2, at fixed volume V and energy U. C. Write an expression for the entropy change, AS, for a two-step process (V₁, N₁) → (V2, N₁) → (V2, N₂) in which the volume changes first at fixed particle number, then the particle number changes at fixed volume. Again, assume energy is constant.arrow_forwardPlease don't use Chatgpt will upvote and give handwritten solutionarrow_forward6. We used the constant volume heat capacity, Cv, when we talked about thermodynamic cycles. It acts as a proportionality constant between energy and temperature: dU = C₁dT. You can also define a heat capacity for constant pressure processes, Cp. You can think of enthalpy playing a similar role to energy, but for constant pressure processes δαρ C = (37) - Sup Ср ат P = ат Starting from the definition of enthalpy, H = U + PV, find the relationship between Cy and Cp for an ideal gas.arrow_forward

Heat capacity often has a temperature dependence for real molecules, particularly if you go over a large temperature range. The heat capacity for liquid n-butane can be fit to the equation Cp(T) = a + bT where a = 100 J K₁₁ mol¹ and b = 0.1067 J K² mol¹ from its freezing point (T = 140 K) to its boiling point (T₁ = 270 K).
