- 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.arrow_forwardTwo 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.arrow_forwardA 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 .arrow_forward
- A hollow aluminum cylinder 20.0 cm deep has an internal capacity of 2.000 L at 20.0C. It is completely filled with turpentine at 20.0C. The turpentine and the aluminum cylinder are then slowly warmed together to 80.0C. (a) How much turpentine overflows? (b) What is the volume of the turpentine remaining in the cylinder at 80.0C? (c) If the combination with this amount of turpentine is then cooled back to 20.0C, how far below the cylinders rim does the turpentines surface recede?arrow_forwardA high—pressure gas cylinder contains 50.13L of toxic gas at a pressure of 1.40107N/m2 and a temperature of 25.0C. Its value leaks after the cylinder is dropped. The cylinder is cooled to dry ice temperature (78.5C) to reduce the leak rate and pressure so that it can be safely repaired. (a) What is the final pressure in the tank, assuming a negligible amount of gas leaks while being cooled and that there is no phase change? (b) What is the final pressure it onetenth of the gas escapes? (c) To what temperature must the tank be cooled to reduce the pressure to 1.00 atm (assuming the gas does not change phase and that there is no leakage during cooling)? (d) Does cooling the tank appear to be a practical solution?arrow_forwardAt room temperature(25°C), a 5.000-mm-diameter tungsten pin is too large for a 4.999-mm-diameter hole in a nickel bar. To what temperature must these two parts be heated in order for the pinto just fit? (coefficient of thermal expansion for nickel = 12.7 × 10^-6 mm/mm°C, coefficient of thermal expansion for nickel = 4.5 × 10^-6 mm/mm°C)arrow_forward
- In state-of-the-art vacuum systems, pressures as low as 1.00 x 10-9 Pa are being attained. Calculate the number of molecules in a 2.00-m³ vessel at this pressure and a temperature of 30.0°C. molecules Need Help?

An egg that is initially at 8°C is dropped into the boiling water at 100°C. The heat transfer coefficient at the surface of the egg is estimated to be 800 W/m2·K. If the egg is considered cooked when its center temperature reaches 60°C, determine how long the egg should be kept in the boiling water. Solve this problem using analytical one-term approximation method (not the Heisler charts).arrow_forwardA particle on the surface of the Earth can "escape" the Earth's gravitation and continue to move away from the Earth forever, if it has a sufficient speed (called the escape speed). (a) Determine the escape speed (in m/s) if the particle is an oxygen molecule. Use 6.37 x 106 m for radius of the Earth. m/s (b) Determine the temperature (in K) at which the rms speed of the oxygen molecule is 13 times the escape speed. T = K (c) What If? The Universe is composed of 75% hydrogen and 25% helium by mass, yet these gases are not found in the Earth's atmosphere. Calculate the temperatures (in K) for which the minimum escape kinetic energy is nine times the average kinetic energy of hydrogen (H₂) molecules and helium atoms. K K TH2 THEarrow_forward

The balloon’s empty mass is 10 g. The density of the rubber is 0.8 g/cm3.
