In the "Fire Syringe" demonstration, what causes the cotton inside the syringe to reach a high enough temperature to ignite. O The compression of the air in the syringe causes the temperature to increase to the point of combustion. There is a match in the syringe that the plunger triggers. Magic. O The compression of the air in the syringe causes the pressure to drop to the point that the cotton ignites.

In a common demonstration, a bottle is heated and stoppered with a hard-boiled egg that's a little bigger than the bottle's neck. When the bottle is cooled, the pressure difference between inside and outside forces the egg into the bottle. Suppose the bottle has a volume of 0.500 L and the temperature inside it is raised to 80.0 while the pressure remains constant at 1.00 atm because the bottle is open. (a) How many moles of air are inside? (b) Now the egg is put in place, sealing the bottle. What is the gauge pressure inside after the air cools back to the ambient temperature of 25 but before the egg is forced into the bottle ?
Two cylinders A and B at the same temperature contain the same quantity of the same kind of gas. Cylinder A has three times the volume of cylinder B. What can you conclude about the pressures the gases exert? (a) We can conclude nothing about the pressures. (b) The pressure in A is three times the pressure in B. (c) The pressures must be equal. (d) The pressure in A must be one-third the pressure in B.
Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid than may overflow when 1he engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 16.0L capacity when at 10.0C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95.0C operating temperature, given that the fluid’s volume coefficient of expansion is =400106/C ? Note that this coefficient is approximate, because most car radiators have operating temperatures of greater than 95.0C.
If you place 0 ice into 0 water in an insulated container, what will the net result be? Will there be less ice and more liquid water, or more ice and less liquid water, or will the amounts stay the same?
The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170.00 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0 . What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to -10.0 ? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its coefficient of thermal expansion is the same as that of marble. Give your answer to five significant figures.
A bicycle tire contains 2.00 L of gas at an absolute pressure of 7.00105 N/m2 and a temperature of 18.0 . What will its pressure be if you let out an amount of air that has a volume of 100cm3 at atmospheric pressure? Assume tire temperature and volume remain constant.
A company advertises that it delivers helium at a gauge pressure of 1.72107 Pa in a cylinder of volume 43.8 L. How many balloons can be inflated to a volume of 4.00 L with that amount of helium? Assume the pressure inside the balloons is 1.72105 Pa and the temperature in the cylinder and the balloons is 25.0 .

Hi! I have a question. Unsatisfied with the Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales, you decide to create your own. On your temperature scale, the ice point is 77°M and the steam point is at 437°M, where "°M" stands for "my scale." What temperature on your scale corresponds to 68°F? (A) 154°M, (B) 168°M, (C) 140°M, (D) 136°M, (E) 149°MMy answer below, is this correct?68°F = (E) 149°M
An ideal gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion, a process inwhich no heat flows into or out of the gas. As a result,(a) the temperature of the gas remains constant and thepressure decreases.(b) both the temperature and pressure of the gas decrease.(c) the temperature of the gas decreases and the pressureincreases.(d) both the temperature and volume of the gas increase.(e) both the temperature and pressure of the gas increase.
