Suppose the Universe is considered to be an ideal gas of hydrogen atoms expanding adiabatically. (a) If the density of the gas in the Universe is one hydrogen atom per cubic meter, calculate the number of moles per unit volume (n/V). (b) Calculate the pressure of the Universe, taking the temperature of the Universe as 2.7 K. (c) If the current radius of the Universe is 15 billion light-years (1.4 1026 m), find the pressure of the Universe when it was the size of a nutshell, with radius 2.0 102 m. (Be careful: Calculator overflow can occur.)
The explosive energy of a ton of TNT is 4.184*109 Joules, according to Google. A megaton of TNT is a million times that. According to Wikipedia, the Tsar Bomba (Links to an external site.) was the most powerful thermonuclear weapon ever exploded, at 50 megatons of TNT. (For comparison, the explosive energy of WWII nuclear bombs was about 20 kilotons.) Suppose one kg of antimatter came into contact with matter. How would the explosive energy compare with the explosive energy of the Tsar Bomba? (c = 3 * 108 m/s) Group of answer choices 1.There is no way to compare the two. 2.The kg of antimatter would produce at least a hundred times more energy. 3.The Tsar Bomba produced at least a hundred times more energy than the kg of antimatter. 4. They would be approximately the same.
