The hot water coming out of a hydrothermal vent is sometimes called vent fluid. Why would you and I find these vent fluids to be an unpleasant thing to be exposed to? a They are some of the coldest fluids on Earth, being much colder than the normal freezing point of water. b They can be up to 400 degrees Celsius, and contain dissolved compounds like hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and methane. c The vent fluids are actually an exotic type of magma, made of silicate minerals. d They are actually ultra-pure water, with nothing at all dissolved in them; so pure that even simple cells will die due to the lack of nutrients in the fluids.

8.2 From its definition and from the property values in Appendix 2, Table 13, calculate the coefficient of thermal expansion, , for saturated water at 403 K. Then compare your results with the value in the table.
1. The boiling temperature of water is 100 °C. If you put boiling water in a mugplaced at the table top, you observed that after some time the water cools down,decreasing the temperature of water in the mug. Why is this so? Explain using theZeroth Law of Thermodynamics. What happens to objects when temperature increases? For instance, a jar cover an be removed by putting the cover in hot water. Why is this so?
Compare the capillary effect of immersion in (i) water and (ii) mercury of a glass tube of 6 mm internal diameter. The surface tension values are 0.072500 N/m and 0.60 N/m for water and mercury. The angle of contact for water is zero degree. The angle of contact for mercury is 130°
What are the physical and thermal properties of water at 6 degrees celsi
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-. (b) Obtain a numerical result for a spherical container with a diameter of 40 cm containing air at 293 K, if there is a circular hole of diameter 1.0 mm in the surface.
SUPPOSE THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS 20degrees CELSIUS, AND THE HOT RESERVOIR CONSISTS OF A SPHERICAL TANK WITH A RADIUS OF 4.00 m, THAT ACTS AS AN IDEAL EMITTER OF RADIATION. IF ALL THE RADIANT ENERGY EMITTED BY THE TANK COULD BE CAPTURED, WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT COULD BE DONE EACH SECOND? ( please only answer if your 100% correct) (show work)
(About measuring specific heat capacity) Since metal sample can be heated to any desired temperature value, say, 65°C or 156°C. Why is it practical to set the initial temperature of the metal sample near the boiling point of water? In connection to this, why should the dipper be partly submerged in the water while heating the metal sample?
Given the equation ρL/μ=? where ρ is the density, μ is the viscosity, and L is a unit of distance, what should be the units of the answer? The answer needs to be in units such as L-3 for volume.
