Discuss how you can apply the instruments to measure their corresponding parameters. 1. When the cold junction of a thermocouple thermometer is at 0°C and the hot junction at 100°C, the millivoltmeter shows a deflection of 4.2 mV towards the left. The cold junction is now put in an unknown temperature while maintaining the hot junction at 100°C. The millivoltmeter now shows a deflection of 5.2 mV towards the right. Calculate the unknown temperature.
Voyager I is a space probe launched in 1977. An aluminum antenna on Voyager was 37.9 ? long on Earth, where the temperature was 24.0 °C. Recently, Voyager left our solar system and entered interstellar space where the temperature is about 4.00 ??????. How long is the antenna now?• Express your answer to 4 decimal places.

- Consider the throwing of the two dice simultaneously. The sum of the faces of the two dice that are face-up after being thrown (or rolled) can be thought of as representing the state of the dice. What is the total number of possible states of the dice when they are thrown? (Don't forget that each possible state may have a multiplicity greater than one.) What about the probability of finding the dice in the state where their total is 4 after being thrown?arrow_forward(a) Repeat Exercise 31.2, and convert the energy to joules or calories. (b) If all of this energy is converted to thermal energy in the gas, what is its temperature increase, assuming 50.0 cm3 of ideal gas at 0.250atm pressure? (The small answer is consistent with the fact that the energy is large on a quantum mechanical scale but small on a macroscopic scale.)arrow_forwardRather than insisting that all the molecules be in the left half of a container, suppose we only require that they be in the leftmost 99% (leaving the remaining 1% completely empty). What is the probability of finding such an arrangement if there are 100 molecules in the container? What if there are 10,000 molecules? What if there are 1023 ?arrow_forward

Give answer to two decimal places.arrow_forwardIf you consider a very small object such as a grain of pollen, in a gas, then the number of atoms and molecules striking its surface would also be relatively small. Would the grain of pollen experience any fluctuations in pressure due to statistical fluctuations in the number of gas atoms and molecules striking it in a given amount of time?arrow_forwardWhat Is The Difference Between Statistical Thermodynamics And Chemical Thermodynamics?arrow_forward

The aver-age instantaneous velocity of a particle in solution—that is,the velocity between the very frequent collisions—isv = (kT/m)½where k = 1.38 × 10–16 g cm2/K sec2, T = temperature in K(37°C is 310 K), and m = mass in g/molecule.Calculate the instantaneous velocity of a watermolecule (molecular mass = 18 daltons), a glucose mol-ecule (molecular mass = 180 daltons), and a myoglobinmolecule (molecular mass = 15,000 daltons) at 37°C. Justfor fun, convert these numbers into kilometers/hour. Before you do any calculations, try to guess whether themolecules are moving at a slow crawl (<1 km/hr), an easywalk (5 km/hr), or a record-setting sprint (40 km/hr).arrow_forward
- Leila is building an aluminum-roofed shed in her backyard to store her garden tools. The flat roof will measure 2.0 m X 3.0 m in area during the coldest winter months when the temperature is - 10°C, but temperatures in Leila's neighborhood can reach as high as 38°C in the summer. What is the area of the roof that should stick out from the shed in the summer so that the roof just fits the structure during cold winter nights?
