A certain cloud consists mostly of supercooled water droplets at -10°C and maintains the ambient air at saturation with respect to liquid water at that temperature. Compute the supersaturation (in percent) with respect to a solitary ice particle that spontaneously forms in a cloud. Answer: 10% (looking for the work)

When water boils in a pot with a loose lid, the increased pressure forces the lid upward, releasing steam and reducing the pres- sure in the pot so that the lid drops back down. If the water continues to boil, the lid can rattle upward and downward. Consider a 1 L pot half filled with boiling water. In this case there is half a liter, or 1 mol, of air and steam above the water. (a) Estimate the mass of the lid. (b) When the water is rapidly boiling, estimate the height to which the lid jumps during a steam-release event. (c) By multiplying the weight of the lid by the height of the jump, estimate the work done by the steam as the lid moves upward. (d) Treat the process as adiabatic and use the first law of thermodynamics to estimate the drop in the temperature of the steam as it pushes the lid upward.

Consider a thin-walled, ﬁ xed-volume container of volume V that holds an ideal gas at constant temperature T. It can be shown by dimensional analysis that the number of particles striking the walls of the container per unit area per unit time is given by nv-/4, where as usual n is the particle number density. The container has a small hole of area A in its surface through which the gas can leak slowly. Assume that A is much less than the surface area of the container. (a) Assuming that the pressure inside the container is much greater than the outside pressure (so that no gas will leak from the outside back in), estimate the time it will take for the pressure inside to drop to half the initial value. Your answer should contain A, V, and the mean molecular speed v-.
