Predict/Explain In a popular lecture demonstration, a sheet of paper is wrapped around a rod that is made from wood on one half and metal on the other half. If held over a flame, the paper on one half of the rod is burned while the paper on the other half is unaffected. (a) Is the burned paper on the wooden half of the rod, or on the metal half of the rod? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:
- I. The metal will be hotter to the touch than the wood; therefore the metal side will be burnt.
- II. The metal
conducts heat better than the wood, and hence the paper on the metal half is unaffected. - III. The metal has the smaller specific heat; hence it heats up more and burns the paper on its half of the rod.

- Why is a person able to remove a piece of dry aluminum foil from a hot oven with bare fingers, whereas a burn results if there is moisture on the foil?arrow_forwardA 20.0-L tank of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) is at a pressure of 9.50 105 Pa and temperature of 19.0C (a) Calculate the temperature of the gas in Kelvin. (b) Use the ideal gas law to calculate the number of moles of gas in the tank. (c) Use the periodic table to compute the molecular weight of carbon dioxide, expressing it in grams per mole. (d) Obtain the number of grains of carbon dioxide in the tank. (e) A fire breaks out, raising the ambient temperature by 224.0 K while 82.0 g of gas leak out of the tank. Calculate the new temperature and the number of moles of gas remaining in the tank. (f) Using a technique analogous to that in Example 10.6b, find a symbolic expression for the final pressure, neglecting the change in volume of the tank. (g) Calculate the final pressure in the tank as a result of the fire and leakage.arrow_forwardWood conducts heat very poorly—it has a very low conductivity. Does wood still have a low conductivity if it is hot? Could you quickly and safely grasp the wooden handle of a pan from a hot oven with your bare hand? Although the pan handle is hot, is much heat conducted from it to your hand if grasped briefly? Why would it be a poor idea to do the same with an iron handle? Explain.arrow_forward
- An electric fan not only does not decrease the temperature of the air, but it actually increases air temperature. How can you then explain that you are cooled by a fan on a hot day?arrow_forwardOur sun, currently a yellow dwarf, will eventually evolve to a red giant star and then to a white dwarf star as shown in the figure. Assume that the sun radiates like a blackbody. Calculate the power radiated by the WHITE DWARF sun if its surface temperature is 8000 K.arrow_forwardAn incandescent lightbulb is an inexpensive but highly inefficient device that converts electrical energy into light. It converts about 10 percent of the electrical energy it consumes into light while converting the remaining 90 percent into heat. (A fluorescent lightbulb will give the same amount of light while consuming only one-fourth of the electrical energy, and it will last 10 times longer than an incandescent lightbulb.) The glass bulb of the lamp heats up very quickly as a result of absorbing all that heat and dissipating it to the surroundings by convection and radiation. Consider a 10-cm-diameter 100-W lightbulb cooled by a fan that blows air at 30°C to the bulb at a velocity of 2 m/s. The surrounding surfaces are also at 30°C, and the emissivity of the glass is 0.9. Assuming 10 percent of the energy passes through the glass bulb as light with negligible absorption and the rest of the energy is absorbed and dissipated by the bulb itself, determine the equilibrium temperature…arrow_forward
- If a jar lid is screwed on too tightly to remove it it is sometimes possible to loosen the lid by holding it under hot water. Explain why that is the case.arrow_forwardWhat is the role of “loose” electrons in heat conductors? (A) Loose electrons move quickly away from hot locations, making it impossible for energy to move and making the object a good insulator. (B) Loose electrons absorb energy, giving materials a high specific heat capacity. (C) Loose electrons vibrate and emit radiation that carries energy through the material at the speed of light. (D) Loose electrons transfer energy rapidly through a solid.arrow_forward3. (3.a) The table given below is shown C/R ratios of some solids at 273 K. Here, R is the ideal gas constant and C is the heat capacity of solid. What is the reason that C/R value is very far away from 3 for diamond? Explain and discuss this question in the light of relevant theory/theories on heat capacity. Material C/R Copper (Cu) Gold (Au) Silver (Ag) Diamond (C) 2.94 3.05 2.99 0.74 (3.b) According to Debye Theory of heat capacity of solids heat capacity, C, depends on T' (temperature in Kelvin) and this law is given as below. 3 12 n*R C = Here Op is called as Debye temperature. The following Table as given below contains some experimental data of heat capacity as a function of temperature for potassium iodide (KI) material. 3.b.1. Why is Debye temperature important for materials? And when is Debye T³ law important for solids? 3.b.2. Make an estimation by calculation of Debye Temperature of KI material according to given values in Table shown below? T(K) C (JK.mol) 0.1 2.94 1.0…arrow_forward
