• An automobile tire has a volume of 1.45 × 10~2 m³ on a cold day when the temperature of the air in the tire is 5.0°C and atmospheric pressure is 1.02 atm. Under these conditions the gauge pressure is measured to be 1.80 atm (about 25 lb/in.?). 18.55 After the car is driven on the highway for 30 min, the temperature of the air in the tires has risen to 44.0°C and the volume has risen to 1.65 × 10-2 m³. What then is the gauge pressure?

The pressure gauge on a cylinder of gas registers the gauge pressure, which is the difference between the interior pressure and the exterior pressure P0. Lets call the gauge pressure Pg. When the cylinder is full, the mass of the gas in it is mi at a gauge pressure of Pgi. Assuming the temperature of the cylinder remains constant, show that the mass of the gas remaining in the cylinder when the pressure reading is Pgf is given by mf=mi(Pgf+P0Pgi+P0)
In an ultrahigh vacuum system (with typical pressures lower than 10-7 pascal), the pressure is measured to be 1.00 1010 torr (where 1 torr = 133 Pa). Assuming the temperature is 300 K, find the number of molecules in a volume of 1.00 m3.
Soon after the Earth formed, heat released by the decay of radioactive elements raised the average internal temperature from 300 to 3000 K, at about which value it remains today. Assuming an average coefficient of volume expansion of 3.0 x 10-5 K -1 , by how much has the radius of the Earth increased since its formation? (Let r = 6400km be the present radius of the Earth.)
You purchase a pure gold wedding ring with a diameter of 15.77 mm at a special shop in the Karoo desert where the ambient temperature is a scorching 40.5 °C. During your honeymoon, in Siberia, you leave the ring outside overnight, where the temperature goes down to -42.4 °C. In between these 2 extremes, by how much has the diameter of the ring change? The sign is important!
21. On the sunlit surface of Venus, the atmospheric pressure is 9.0 3 106Pa, and the temperature is 740 K. On the earth’s surface the atmosphericpressure is 1.0 3 105 Pa, while the surface temperature can reach 320 K.These data imply that Venus has a “thicker” atmosphere at its surfacethan does the earth, which means that the number of molecules per unitvolume (N/V) is greater on the surface of Venus than on the earth. Findthe ratio (N/V)Venus/(N/V)Earth.
During the summer after your first year at Carnegie Mellon, you are lucky enough to get a job making coffee at Starbucks, but you tell your parents and friends that you have secured a lucrative position as a "java engineer." An eccentric chemistry professor (not mentioning any names) stops in every day and orders 200ml of Sumatran coffee at precisely 70.0°C. You then need to add enough milk at 5.00°C to drop the temperature of the coffee, initially at 80.0°C, to the ordered temperature. Calculate the amount of milk (in ml) you must add to reach this temperature. Show all your work in the provided spaces. In order to simplify the calculations, you will start by assuming that milk and coffee have the specific heat and density as if water. In the following parts, you will remove these simplifications. Solve now this problem assuming the density is 1.000 g/ml for milk and coffee and their specific heat capacity is 4.184 J/(g ºC).
An aluminum measuring rod, which is correct at 5oC, measures a certain distance as 97.46 cm at 51oC. What is the correct length of the steel at the elevated temperature, give a coefficient of linear expansion for the aluminum rod of 22 x 10-6 oC-1. Express your answer in cm rounded to two decimal places (X.XX).
A gold wire 2.4 m long has its temperature lowered by 42oC. Assuming the linear coefficient of expansion has a constant value of 13 x 10-6 K-1 over that temperature range, calculate the change in length of the wire. Express your answer in mm.
You purchase a pure gold wedding ring with a diameter of 16.49 mm at special shop in the Karoo desert where the ambient temperature is a scorching 41.3 °C. During your honeymoon, in Siberia, you leave the ring outside overnight, where the temperature goes down to -35.2 °C. In between these 2 extremes, by how much has the diameter of the ring change?
Can you determine the temperature of a vacuum? Explain
One interesting feature of the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales is that -40C° and -40F°represent the same temperature, as shown in Fig. 1.9. Verify that this is true.
Estimate the average distance between molecules in air at 0.0°C and 2.80 atm.
