The yeast in bread dough feeds on sugar to produce carbon dioxide. Why does the dough rise faster in a warmer area?
(a) There is a greater number of effective collisions among the reacting molecules.
(b) Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing temperature.
(c) The yeast tends to “wake up” with warmer temperatures, which is why baker’s yeast is best stored in the refrigerator.
(d) The rate of evaporation increases with increasing temperature.

- A refrigerator was kept in a room and its door remained open. What will happen to the room temperature after one night?arrow_forwardA 4-L rigid tank contains 2 kg of saturated liquid– vapor mixture of water at 50°C. The water is now slowly heated until it exists in a single phase. At the final state, will the water be in the liquid phase or the vapor phase? What would your answer be if the volume of the tank were 400 L instead of 4 L?arrow_forwardThe A and B tanks given in the figure are separated from each other by the closed valve between them. The water vapor in tank A has a volume of 0.2 m, a temperature of 150 ° C and a pressure of 100 kPa. Tank B is filled with saturated water vapor at a volume of 0.3 m and a pressure of 300 kPa. Then, the valve between the tanks is opened and the final pressure is 175 kPa as a result of the mixing of the fluids in the tanks with each other and the transfer of sufficient . According to this; a) Determine the temperature (° C) and phase of the fluid in the final state. b) The amount of heat transfer at the end of the process (kJ)arrow_forward
- A container filled with an ideal gas is connected to a reservoir of the same gas so that the number of moles in the container can change. If the pressure and volume of the container are each doubled while the temperature is held constant, what is the ratio of the final to the initial number of moles in the container?arrow_forwardYou inflate a balloon in the classroom at a temperature of 293 K. The atmospheric pressure remains constant. The balloon holds 13 liters of air. You move the balloon toward the radiator and the temperature of the air inside rises by 20 K. What is the new volume of the balloon? You may assume that no air can exit or enter the balloon.arrow_forwardSeawater has a salinity of 3.5%, meaning that if you boil away a kilogram of seawater, when you're finished you'll have 35 g of solids (mostly NaCI) left in the pot. When dissolved, sodium chloride dissociates into separate Na+ and CI-ions. Calculate the osmotic pressure difference between seawater and fresh water. Assume for simplicity that all the dissolved salts in seawater are N aCl.arrow_forward
- Calculate the average volume per molecule for an ideal gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Then take the cube root to get an estimate of the average distance between molecules. How does this distance compare to the size of a small molecule like N2 or H20?arrow_forwardYou are inflating the tires on your bicycle using a manual pump. The volume inside of the pump is initially 0.16 m cube with a pressure of 2 atm. If you push down on the piston and reduce the volume inside to 0.07 m cube, what is the new pressure inside of the pump? Assume the temperature inside the pump stays constant.arrow_forwardA weather balloon contains 12.0 m³ of hydrogen gas when the balloon is released from a location at which the temperature is 30.0°C and the pressure is 80.0 kPa. The balloon rises to a location where the temperature is -10.0°C and the pressure is 20.0 kPa. If the balloon is free to expand so that the pressure of the gas inside is equal to the ambient pressure, what is the new volume of the balloon? Assume that in both cases the hydrogen gas is in thermal equilibrium with the outside air. O 14.0 m³ 4.16 m³ 16.0 m³ 41.7 m³ 2.38 m³arrow_forward
- The ideal gas law is a very simple mathematical relationship that relates several physical properties of a gas. This law is only valid when the behavior of a gas is idealized according to three principal assumptions. (i) State the three assumptions made about an ideal gas, and for each assumption (ii) explain which physical property of a gas would be affected if that assumption was not made.arrow_forwardYou can create ice by adding liquid nitrogen to a container of water. If you want to produce 200g of ice from 450g of water at 10°C, how many grams of liquid nitrogen (at its boiling point) would need to be added to the water? Assume that the liquid nitrogen leaves the container of water as soon as it turns to gas. Assume the water values are given to the nearest gram. The boiling point of liquid nitrogen is 77.3K. Given: Latent heat ofvaporisati on of nitrogen: L, = 201.0 kg Latent heat of fusion of water: Lf = 33 3.0 heat capacity of water: C, = 4.186 kg°C T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15 Qr = mC,AT: Qr or f = ml, or farrow_forwardThere are 1.5 times as many molecules as Avogadro's number at a temperature of 1.5°C inside a sealed cube with dimensions 2.8 cm ✕ 2.8 cm ✕ 2.8 cm. How much force does the gas exert on one of the walls of the cube? ______________________ Narrow_forward
