Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps and partly due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00 C. Assume the column is not free to expand sideways. As a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to the surface can expand sideways onto land, and only to a limited degree. As another approximation, neglect the fact that ocean wan-ling is not uniform with depth.
A car engine moves a piston with a circular cross-section of 73000.002cm in diameter a distance of 3.2500.001cm to compress the gas in the cylinder. (a) By what amount is the gas decreased in volume in cubic centimeters? (b) Find the uncertainty in this volume.
Calculate the depth to which Avogadro's number of table tennis balls would cover Earth. Each ball has a diameter of 3.75 cm. Assume the space between balls adds an extra 25.0% to their volume and assume they are not crushed by their own weight.
There are two important isotopes of uranium 235U and 238U ; these isotopes are nearly identical chemically but have different atomic masses. Only 235U is very useful in nuclear reactors. One of the techniques for separating them (gas diffusion) is based on the different average velocities vrms of uranium hexafluoride gas. UF6. (a) The molecular masses for 235UUF6 and 238UUF6 are 349.0g/mol and 352.0g/mol, respectively. What is the ratio of their average velocities? (b) At what temperature would their average velocities differ by 1.00m/s ? (c) Do your answers in this problem imply that this technique may be difficult?
When a gas undergoes a quasi-static isobaric change in volume from 10.0 to 2.0 L, 15 J of work from an external source are required. What is the pressure of the gas? `
An airtight dispenser for drinking water is 25 cm × 10 cm in horizontal dimensions and 20 cm tall. It has a tap of negligible volume that opens at the level of the bottom of the dispenser. Initially, it contains Water to a level 3.0 cm from the top and air at the ambient pressure, 1.00 atm, from there to the top. When the tap is opened, water will flow out until the gauge pressure at the bottom of dispenser, and thus at the opening of the tap, is 0. What volume of water flows out? Assume the temperature is constant, the dispenser is perfectly rigid, and the water has a constant density of 1000 kg/m3.
Think about the drinking bird at the beginning of this section (Figure 15.21). Although the bird enjoys the theoretical maximum efficiency possible, it left to its own devices ever time, the bird will cease “drinking." What are some of the dissipative processes that might cause the bird's motion to cease? Figure 15.21 This novelty toy, known as the drinking bird, IS an example of Carnot's engine. It contains methylene chloride (mixed with a dye) in the abdomen, which boils at a very low temperature—about 100°F. To operate, one gets the bird's head wet. As the water evaporates, fluid moves up into the head, causing the bird to become top-heavy and dip forward back into the water. This cools down the methylene chloride in the head, and it moves back into the abdomen, causing the bird to become bottom heavy and tip up. Except for a very small Input of energy—the original head- wetting—the bird becomes a perpetual motion machine of sorts. (credit: Arabesk.nl, Wikimedia Commons)

Under what circumstances would you expect a gas to behave significantly differently than predicted by the ideal gas law?
A metallic container of fixed volume of 2.5103 m3 immersed in a large tank of temperature 27 contains two compartments separated by a freely movable wall. Initially, the wall is kept in place by a stopper so that there are 0.02 mol of the nitrogen gas on one side and 0.03 mol of the oxygen gas on the other side, each occupying half the volume. When the stopper is removed, the wall moves and comes to a final position. The movement of the wall is controlled so that the wall moves in infinitesimal quasi-static steps. (a) Find the final volumes of the two sides assuming the ideal gas behavior for the two gases. (b) How much work does each gas do on the other? (c) What is the change in the internal energy of each gas? (d) Find the amount of heat that enters or leaves each gas.

(b) If the diver breathes a gas mixture at a pressure of 2.00106N/m2, what percent oxygen should it be to have the same oxygen partial pressure as at sea level?
