From the surreal realm of deep-seahydrothermal vents 200 miles offshore from Puget Sound, comesa newly discovered hyperthermophilic—or extreme heat-loving—microbe that holds the record for the hottest existence known toscience. This microbe is tentatively known as Strain 121 for thetemperature at which it thrives: 121 °C. (At sea level, water at thistemperature would boil vigorously, but the extreme pressures atthe ocean floor prevent boiling from occurring.) What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?

Explain in words, why it requires more heat (Q) to raise the temperature of a gas at constant pressure than it does to raise the temperature by the same amount at constant volume. In other words, what is the conceptual reason why Cp > CV ?
One process for decaffeinating coffee uses carbon dioxide ( M=44.0 g/mol) at a molar density of about 14,0 mol/m3 and a temperature of about 60 . (a) Is CO2 a solid, liquid, gas, or supercritical fluid under those conditions? (b) The van der Waals constants for carbon dioxide are a=0.3658 Pa m6/mol2 and b=4.286105 m3/mol. Using the van der Waals equation, estimate pressure of CO2 at that temperature and density. `
Professional divas sometimes use heliox, consisting of 79% helium and 21% oxygen by mole. Suppose a perfectly rigid scuba tank with a volume of 11 L contains heliox at an absolute pressure of 2.1107 Pa at a temperature of 31 . (a) How many moles of helium and how many moles of oxygen are in the tank? (b) The diver goes down to a point where the sea temperature is 27 while using a negligible amount of the mixture. As the gas in the tank reaches this new temperature, how much heat is removed from it?
The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the lungs is about 470 Pa when the total pressure in the lungs is 1.0 atm. What percentage of the air molecules in the lungs is carbon dioxide? Compare your result to the percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but 0.033%.
Consider separate 1.0-L samples of He(g) and UF6(g), both at 1.00 atm and containing the same number of moles. What ratio of temperatures for the two samples would produce the same root mean square velocity?
A refrigerator uses refrigerant-134a as the workingfluid and operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigerationcycle except for the compression process. The refrigerantenters the evaporator at 120 kPa with a quality of 34 percentand leaves the compressor at 70C. If the compressor consumes450 W of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of therefrigerant, (b) the condenser pressure, and (c) the COP of therefrigerator.
Using the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, determine the volume 200 lbs of hydrogen would occupy at 180 degrees F and a pressure of 100 psig? Assume the constant “R” is 10.731 Ft3PSIA/0R lb mole and the molecular weight of H2 is 2 lbs./mole.
An inventor claims to have invented an adiabaticsteady-flow device with a single inlet–outlet that produces230 kW when expanding 1 kg/s of air from 1200 kPa and300C to 100 kPa. Is this claim valid?
In a student experiment, a constant-volume gas thermometer is calibrated in dry ice (-78.5°C) and in boiling ethyl alcohol (78.0°C). The separate pressures are 0.900 atm and 1.635 atm. (a) What value of absolute zero in degrees Celsius does the calibration yield? What pressures would be found at (b) the freezing and (c) boiling points of water? Hint : Use the linear relationship P = A + BT, where A and B are constants.
Are the measured values similar to the Dulong-Petit law's value of molar specific heat, where cM = 24.9 J/molK? Calculate the percentage of error using this value as a starting point.
