(a)
Interpretation:
The speed of sound in a gas is related to the value of γ:
Where M is the molar mass of the gas. To tell whether the gas is CO or N2 from measuring the speed of sound.
Concept introduction:
The heat capacity of the system between any two temperatures is defined as the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature from lower to higher temperature divide by the temperature difference. And if the mass of the system is one mole then the system of the heat capacity is called the molar heat capacity.
(b)
Interpretation:
The speed of sound in a gas is related to the value of γ:
To calculate the speed of sound in CO2 at 100 K and 500 K, using the low-temperature and high-temperature values of g, respectively.
Concept introduction:

- At the critical point for carbon dioxide, the substance is very far from being an ideal gas. Prove this statement by calculating the density of an ideal gas in g/cm3 at the conditions of the critical point and comparing it with the experimental value. Compute the experimental value from the fact that a mole of CO2 at its critical point occupies 94 cm3.arrow_forwardIn the equation w = P V, why is there a negative sign?arrow_forwardWhich of the following quantities can be taken to be independent of temperature? independent of pressure? (a) H for a reaction (b) S for a reaction (c) G for a reaction (d) S for a substancearrow_forward
- Butane gas, C4H10, is sold to campers as bottled fuel. Its density at 25C and 1.00 atm is 2.38 g/L. What volume of butane gas at 25C and 1.00 atm is required to heat one gallon of water (d=1.00g/mL) from 25C to 98C ? The reaction for the combustion of butane (H f =125.6kJ/mol) is C4H10(g)+132 O2(g)4CO2(g)+5H2O(g)arrow_forwardWhat is the value of FP for a sample of gas whose temperature is -33.0 C and volume is 0.0250 L?
