A helium-filled balloon spontaneously deflates overnight as He atoms diffuse through the wall of the balloon. Describe the redistribution of matter and/or energy that accompanies this process.
9.34 A copper nail and an iron nail of the same mass and initially at the same room temperature are both put into a vessel containing boiling water. Which one would you expect to reach 100°C first? Why?
The best solar panels currently available are about 15% efficient in converting sunlight to electricity. A typical home will use about 40. kWh of electricity per day (1 kWh = 1 kilowatt hour; 1kW = 1000 J/s). Assuming 8.0 hours of useful sunlight per day, calculate the minimum solar panel surface area necessary to provide all of a typical homes electricity. (See Exercise 124 for the energy rate supplied by the sun.)

How is electricity generated in a photovoltaic system?
The total rate at which power is used by humans worldwideis approximately 15 TW (terawatts). The solar flux averagedover the sunlit half of Earth is 680 W/m2 (assumingno clouds). The area of Earth’s disc as seen from the Sun is1.28 x 1014 m2. The surface area of Earth is approximately197,000,000 square miles. How much of Earth’s surfacewould we need to cover with solar energy collectors to powerthe planet for use by all humans? Assume that the solar energycollectors can convert only 10% of the available sunlightinto useful power.
