- 1.3 The ground level of Cl is 2P3/2 and a 2P1/2 level lies 881 cm-1 there above. Calculate the electronic contribution to the heat capacity of Cl atoms at 500 K.arrow_forwardEstimate the values of γ = Cp,m/CV,m for gaseous ammonia and methane. Do this calculation with and without the vibrational contribution to the energy. Which is closer to the experimental value at 25 °C? Hint: Note that Cp,m − CV,m = R for a perfect gas.arrow_forwardIn the equation w = P V, why is there a negative sign?arrow_forward
- P2D.6 The speed of sound, cs , in a perfect gas of molar mass M is related to the ratio of heat capacities γ by cs = (γRT/M) 1/2. Show that cs = (γp/ρ)1/2, where ρ isthe mass density of the gas. Calculate the speed of sound in argon at 25 °C.arrow_forward(a) Express (∂Cp/∂P)T as a second derivative of H and find its relation to (∂H/∂P)T. (b) From the relationships found in (a), show that (∂Cp/∂V)T=0 for a perfect gas.arrow_forwardA standard sample of Argon gas is 22.4L, 1.00atm, 1.00mol, 273.15K. In the right setups excited gas can be tricked into using heat and giving away photons of light. If the sample gave off 0.01mol of 3,634nm light by converting thermal energy into those photons find the new final temp of the gas. SAr = 0.52J/gKarrow_forward
- For CO_2 how would the theoretical ratio of C_p (heat capacity at constant pressure)/ C_v (heat capacity at constant volume) be affected if the molecule were nonlinear, such as SO_2, instead of linear? Could you decide between these two structures from the C_p/C_v ratio alone?arrow_forwardUse the equipartition theorem to estimate the constant- volume molar heat capacity of (i) O3, (ii) C2H6, (iii) CO2 in the gas phase at 25 °C.arrow_forwardThe cohesive energy density, U, is defined as U/V, where U is the mean potential energy of attraction within the sample and V its volume. Show that U = 1/2N2∫V(R)dτ where N is the number density of the molecules and V(R) is their attractive potential energy and where the integration ranges from d to infinity and over all angles. Go on to show that the cohesive energy density of a uniform distribution of molecules that interact by a van der Waals attraction of the form −C6/R6 is equal to −(2π/3)(NA2/d3M2)ρ2C6, where ρ is the mass density of the solid sample and M is the molar mass of the molecules.arrow_forward
- Use the equipartition principle to estimate the values of γ = Cp/CV for gaseous ammonia and methane. Do this calculation with and without the vibrational contribution to the energy. Which is closer to the experimental value at 25 °C?arrow_forwardThe molar specific heat of a diatomic gas is measured at constant volume and found to be 29.1 J/mol. K. The types of energy that are contributing to the molar specific heat are: (a) translation only (b) translation and rotation only (c) translation and vibration only (d) translation, rotation, and vibration. And why?arrow_forwardH4. A zinc pot (coefficient of linear expansion : ) is filled with mercury at 100 °C, then having a 10.0 L capacity. Cools down to 0°C. Calculate the mass of mercury, measured at °C, that must be added so that the vessel is completely full (coefficient of volumetric expansion of mercury: ). Density of mercury at 0 °C; 13.6g/cm3.arrow_forward
