The law of atmospheres states that the number density of molecules in the atmosphere depends on height y above sea level according to nV(y)=n0en0gy/kaT where n0 is the number density at sea level (where y = 0). The average height of a molecule in the Earths atmosphere is given by yavg=0ynV(y)dy0nV(y)dy=0yen0gy/kaTdy0en0gy/kaTdy (a) Prove that this average height is equal to kBT/m0g. (b) Evaluate the average height, assuming the temperature is 10.0C and the molecular mass is 28.9 u, both uniform throughout the atmosphere.
One container is filled with helium gas and another with argon gas. Both containers are at the same temperature. Which molecules have the higher rim speed? Explain.
em>. The volume of an ideal gas enclosed in a thin, elastic membrane in a room at sea level where the air temperature is 18°C is 8 10-3 m3 .If the temperature of the room is increased by 10°C, what is the new volume of the gas?
1. In Section 4.1 in the description of matter, the following terms were introduced: elements, atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons, nucleus, molecules, mixtures, and solutions. Create a concept map explaining the composition of matter by appropriately organizing and linking these concepts to form meaningful propositions. After completing your concept map, compare your map with that of a classmate or the instructor. Are they same? Should they be? Discuss the similarities and differences that you find between the maps.
You are looking to purchase a small piece of land in Hong Kong. The price is “only” 60,000 per square meter! The land title says the dimensions are 20m30m. By how much would the total price change if you measured the parcel with a steel tape measure on a day when the temperature was 20C above normal?
(a) Suppose a meter Stick made of steel and one made of invar (an alloy of iron and nickel) are the same length at 0C. What is their difference in length at 22.0C ? (b) Repeat the calculation for two 30.0mlong surveyor's tapes.
A car engine moves a piston with a circular cross section of 7.5000.002 cm diameter a distance of 3.2500.001 cm to compress the gas in the cylinder. (a) By what amount is the gas decreased in volume in cubic centimeters? (b) Find the uncertainty in this volume.
Some picnickers stop at a convenience store to buy some food, including bags of potato chips. They then drive up into the mountains to their picnic site. When they unload the food, they notice that the bags of chips are puffed up like balloons. Why did that happen?
2. Explain how ideal gas equation summarizes all the gas laws.
1. Why do you study properties of gases?
(1) The specific gravity of a urine sample is found to be 1.110 at a temperature of 24C. The specific gravity of this urine was determined with a urinometer. What is the corrected specific gravity value of this sample? (2) We've learned that urinometers are usually calibrated at 15 C and that we have to correct for samples that are above or below this temperature. This is because the density of a liquid changes with temperature. Using the density formula, explain why temperature affects the density of a liquid. Explain what happens to the density of a liquid as the temperature is raised and lowered.
