A gas thermometer is constructed of two gas-containing bulbs, each in a water bath, as shown in Fig. 18-30. The pressure difference between the two bulbs is measured by a mercury manometer as shown. Appropriate reservoirs, not shown in the diagram, maintain constant gas volume in the two bulbs. There is no difference in pressure when both baths are at the triple point of water. The pressure difference is 120 torr when one bath is at the triple point and the other is at the boiling point of water. It is 90.0 torr when one bath is at the triple point and the other is at an unknown temperature to be measured. What is the unknown temperature?

- In a chemical processing plant, a reaction chamber of fixed volume V0 is connected to a reservoir chamber of fixed volume 4V0 by a passage containing a thermally insulating porous plug. The plug permits the chambers to be at different temperatures. The plug allows gas to pass from either chamber to the other, ensuring that the pressure is the same in both. At one point in the processing, both chambers contain gas at a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 27.0C. Intake and exhaust valves to the pair of chambers are closed. The reservoir is maintained at 27.0C while the reaction chamber is heated to 400C. What is the pressure in both chambers after that is done?arrow_forwardA high-pressure gas cylinder contains 70.0 L of toxic gas at a pressure of 1.40 x 107 N/m² and a temperature of 16.0°C. Its valve leaks after the cylinder is dropped. The cylinder is cooled to dry ice temperatures (-78.5°C), 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? 9.42e6 N/m² (b) What is the final pressure if one-tenth of the gas escapes? 8.61e6 N/m² (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)? 2.14 Review the values for initial and final pressure for this situation. Karrow_forwardIn the lungs, the respiratory membrane separates tiny sacs of air (absolute pressure=1.00x105 Pa) from the blood in the capillaries. These sacs are called alveoli, and it is from them that oxygen enters the blood. The average radius of the alveoli is 0.125 mm, and the air inside contains 14% oxygen, which is somewhat smaller amount than in fresh air. Assuming that the air behaves as an ideal gas at body temperature (310 K), find the number of oxygen molecules in one of the sacs.arrow_forward

(a) Determine the number of moles of gas in the vessel.arrow_forwardA spherical balloon has a diameter of 0.2m and contains air at a pressure of 1.2bar. Due to heating the diameter of the balloon increases to a value of 0.25m, during this process the air pressure is proportional to the diameter of the balloon. Calculate the expansion work done by the air.arrow_forwardDuring inhalation, a person's diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract, expanding the chest cavity and lowering the internal air pressure below ambient so that air flows in through the mouth and nose to the lungs. Suppose a person's lungs hold 1220 mL of air at a pressure of 1.00 atm. If they expand their chest cavity by 530 mL while keeping their nose and mouth closed so that no air is inhaled, what will be the air pressure in their lungs in atm?

- 80 Figure 18-56a shows a cylinder containing gas and closed by a movable piston. The cylinder is kept submerged in an ice-water mix- ture. The piston is quickly pushed down from position 1 to position 2 and then held at position 2 until the gas is again at the temperature of the ice-water mixture; it then is slowly raised back to position 1. Figure 18-56b is a p-V diagram for the process. If 100 g of ice is melted during the cycle, how much work has been done on the gas?

- During inhalation, a person's diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract, expanding the chest cavity and lowering the internal air pressure below ambient so that air flows in through the mouth and nose to the lungs. Suppose a person's lungs hold 1220 mL of air at a pressure of 1.00 atm. If they expand their chest cavity by 485 mL while keeping their nose and mouth closed so that no air is inhaled, what will be the air pressure in their lungs in atm?
