- Is it reasonable to expect superconductivity in a "glass," a material with almost no crystalline structure? Why or why not, if that's the case?arrow_forwardCalculate the value of ni in germanium at a temperature of 300 K.arrow_forwardExperimentally it appears that many polyatomic molecules' vibrational degrees of freedom can contribute to some extent to their energy at room temperature. Would you expect that fact to increase or decrease their heat capacity from the value R? Explain.arrow_forward
- Unreasonable results. (a) Find the sped of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, molecules at a temperature of 250 K. Its molar mass is 31.4 g/mol (b) The result isn't very unreasonable, but why is it less reliable than those for, say, neon or nitrogen?arrow_forwardUsing the method of the preceding problem, estimate the fraction of nitric oxide (NO) molecules at a temperature of 250 K that have energies between 3.451021 J and 3.501021 J. `arrow_forwardThe active element of a certain laser is made of a glass rod 30.0 cm long and 1.50 cm in diameter. Assume the average coefficient of linear expansion of the glass is equal to 9.00 106 (C)1. If the temperature of the rod increases by 65.0C, what is the increase in (a) its length, (b) its diameter, and (c) its volume?arrow_forward
- Check Your Understanding What does the energy separation between absorption lines in a rotational spectrum of a diatomic molecule tell you?arrow_forwardThe active element of a certain laser is made of a glass rod 30.0 cm long and 1.50 cm in diameter. Assume the average coefficient of linear expansion of the glass is 9.00 x 10-6 (°C)-1. If the temperature of the rod increases by 65.0°C, what is the increase in (a) its length, (b) its diameter, and (c) its volume?arrow_forwardpoorest insulator materials are?arrow_forward
- Calculate the number of microstates that are available in a single atom of carbon in graphite.The standard molar entropy (S°) of carbon is 5.7 J/(mol · K) and the Boltzmann constant (kB) is1.381 × 10 ―23?/?. HELP PLEASEarrow_forwardWhat is the physical significance of the Biot number? Is the Biot number more likely to be larger for highly conducting solids or poorly conducting ones?arrow_forwardWith reference to the potential energy between two carbon atoms, explain why, in stating that diamond appears to be stable at room temperature and pressure.arrow_forward
