The turpentine and the aluminum cylinder are then slowly warmed together to 80.0C. (a) How much turpentine overflows? (b) What is the volume of the turpentine remaining in the cylinder at 80.0C? (c) If the combination with this amount of turpentine is then cooled back to 20.0C, how far below the cylinders rim does the turpentines surface recede?arrow_forwardTwo small containers, each with a volume of 1.00 102cm3, contain helium gas at 0C and 1.00 atm pressure. The two containers are joined by a small open tube of negligible volume, allowing gas to flow from one container to the other. What common pressure will exist in the two containers if the temperature of one container is raised to 1.00 102 C while the other container is kept at 0C?arrow_forwardIf a gas undergoes an isobaric process, which of the following statements is true? (a) The temperature of the gas doesnt change. (b) Work is done on or by the gas. (c) No energy is transferred by heat to or from the gas. (d) The volume of the gas remains the same. (e) The pressure of the gas decreases uniformly.arrow_forward
- (a) Use the ideal gas equation to estimate the temperature at which 1.00 kg of steam (molar mass M=18.0 g/mol) at a pressure of 1.50106 Pa occupies a volume of 0.220 m3. (b) The van der Waals constants for water are a=0.5537 Pa m6/mol2 and b=3.049105 m3/mol. Use the Van der Waals equation of state to estimate the temperature under the same conditions. (c) The actual temperature is 779 K. Which estimate is better? `arrow_forwardYou are working in your kitchen preparing lunch for your family. You have decided to make egg salad sandwiches and are boiling six eggs, each of mass 55.5 g, in 0.750 L of water at 100C. You wish to take all the eggs out of the boiling water and immediately place them in 23.0C water to cool them down to a comfortable temperature to hold them and peel them. You decide that you wish the mixture of the water and the eggs to reach an equilibrium temperature of 40.0C. Explaining this to a family member, she challenges you to determine exactly how much water at 23.0C you need to achieve your desired equilibrium temperature. Take the average specific heat of an egg over the expected temperature range to be 3.27 103 J/kg C.arrow_forwardA cylinder with a piston contains a sample of a thin gas. The kind of gas and the sample size can be changed. The cylinder can be placed in different constant-temperature baths, and the piston can be held in different positions. Rank the following cases according to the pressure of the gas from the highest to the lowest, displaying any cases of equality, (a) A 0.002-mol sample of oxygen is held at .300 K in a 100-cm3 container. (b) A 0.002-mol sample of oxygen is held at 600 K in a 200-cm3 container, (c) A 0.002-mol sample of oxygen is held at 600 K in a 300-cm3 container, (d) A 0.004-mol sample of helium is held at .300 K in a 200-cm3 container, (e) A 0.004-mol sample of helium is held at 250 K in a 200-cm3 container.arrow_forward
