Given Solution: ** PV = n R T so n R / P = V / T Since T and V remain constant, V / T remains constant. · Therefore n R / P remain constant. · Since R is constant it follows that n / P remains constant. ** STUDENT QUESTION: I don’t understand why P is in the denominator when nR was moved to the left side of the equation INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE: The given equation was obtained by dividing both sides by P and by T, then reversing the sides. We could equally well have divided both sides by v and by n R to obtain P / (n R) = T / V, and would have concluded that P / n is constant. To say that P / n is constant is equivalent to saying the n / P is constant.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: Looking at the equation PV=nRT, you can see that when only temperature and volume change, this must mean that pressure and number of moles must remain constant (NOTE: R is always constant). Just like in the previous problem, you should solve the formula for the things that remain constant (in this case pressure, number of moles, and R). It looks like this: P/nR=T/V Since you know that pressure, number of moles and R remain constant, then this must mean that the other side of the equation will remain constant as well since it is equal to these values. Therefore, T/V must be constant as well when only temperature and volume change. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: ** STUDENT ANSWER AND INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE: They are inversely proportional. They must change together to maintain that proportion. INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE: You haven't justified your answer in terms of the ideal gas law: PV = n R T so V / T = n R / P. If only T and V change, n and P don't change so n R / P is constant. Therefore V / T is constant, and so therefore is T / V. You need to be able to justify any of the less general relationships (Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, etc.) in terms of the general gas law, using a similar strategy. ** Your Self-Critique: OK Your Self-Critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: prin phy Ch 13.26. Kelvin temperatures corresponding to 86 C, 78 F, -100 C, 5500 C and -459 F. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: The Kelvin temperature is 273 K higher than the Celsius temperature (actually 273.15 below, but the degree of precision in the given temperatures is not sufficient to merit consideration of tenths or hundredths of a degree). · 86 C, -100 C and 5500 C are therefore equivalent to ( 86 + 273 ) K = 359 K, -100 + 273 K = 173 K, (5500 + 273) K = 5773 K. The freezing point of water is 0 C or 32 F, and a Fahrenheit degree is 5/9 the size of a Celsius degree. Therefore · 78 F is (78 F - 32 F) = 46 F above the freezing point of water. · 46 Fahrenheit degrees is the same as (5/9 C / F ) * 46 F = 26 C above freezing. · Since freezing is at 0 C, this means that the temperature is 26 C. · The Kelvin temperature is therefore (26 + 273) K = 299 K. Similar reasoning can be used to convert -459 F to Celsius · -459 F is (459 + 32) F = 491 F below freezing, or (5/9 C / F) * (-491 F) = 273 C below freezing. · This is -273 C or (-273 + 273) K = 0 K. · This is absolute zero, to the nearest degree.

Estimate the temperature of the compressed air assuming the pressure reaches 40 atm. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: First we reason this out intuitively: If the air was compressed to 1/9 its original volume and the temperature didn’t change, it would end up with 9 times its original pressure. However the pressure changes from 1 atm to 40 atm, which is a 40-fold increase. The only way the pressure could end up at 40 times the original pressure, as opposed to 9 times the original, would be to heat up. Its absolute temperature would therefore have to rise by a factor of 40 / 9. Its original temperature was 20 C = 293 K, so the final temperature would be 293 K * 40/9, or over 1300 K. Now we reason in terms of the ideal gas law. P V = n R T. In this situation the number of moles n of the gas remains constant. Thus P V / T = n R, which is constant, and thus P1 V1 / T1 = P2 V2 /T2. The final temperature T2 is therefore · T2 = (P2 / P1) * (V2 / V1) * T1. From the given information P2 / P1 = 40 and V2 / V1 = 1/9 so · T2 = 40 * 1/9 * T1. The original temperature is 20 C = 293 K so that T1 = 293 K, and we get · T2 = 40 * 1/9 * 293 K, the same result as before.

.............................................
Given Solution: (Note that the given 220 kPa initial gauge pressure implies an absolute pressure of 311 k Pa; assuming atmospheric pressure of about 101 k Pa, we add this to the gauge pressure to get absolute pressure). Remember that the gas laws are stated in terms of absolute temperature and pressure. The gas goes through three states. The temperature and pressure change between the first and second states, leaving the volume and the number n of moles constant. Between the second and third states pressure returns to its original value while volume remains constant and the number n of moles decreases. From the first state to the second: T1 = 288 K, T2 = 311 K so T2 / T1 = 311 / 288 = 1.08, approx. This is approx. an 8% increase in temperature. The pressure must therefore rise to P2 = 3ll / 288 * 321 kPa = 346 kPa, approx (note that we have to use actual rather than gauge pressure so init pressure is 220 kPa + 101 kPa = 321 kPa, approx. ) From the second state to the third, pressure is then released by releasing some gas, changing the number n of moles of gas in order to get pressure back to 331 kPa. Thus n3 / n2 = P3 / P2 = 321 kPa / 346 kPa or approximately .93, which would be about a 7% decrease. So we have to release about 7% of the air. Note that these calculations have been done mentally, and they might not be particularly accurate. Work out the process to botain the accurate numerical results. Note also that temperature changes from the second to third state were not mentioned in the problem. We would in fact expect a temperature change to accompany the release of the air, but this applies only to the air that escapes. The air left in the tire would probably change temperature for one reason or another, but it wouldn't do so as a direct result of releasing the air. STUDENT QUESTION It seems that the air goes from 288 to 311 K, so the ratio should be n2 / n1 = 288 / 311 and the proportional loss should be about (1 - 288 / 311) INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE The Kelvin temperature goes from 288 K to 311 K. If the air is released at constant pressure, then volume and pressure remain constant while temperature and number of moles vary according to n T = P V / R so that n1 T1 = n2 T2, and n2 = n1 * (T1 / T2) = n1 * (288 / 311) and the change in amount of gas is n1 - n2 = n1 - 288/311 n1 = n1( 1 - 288 / 311), or about 7.4% of n1. If the temperature is first raised to 311 K, then the gas is released, it is the pressure and amount of gas that change. In that case the change in the amount of the gas is n1 - n3 = n1 - (321 kPa / 346 kPa) * n1 = n1 ( 1 - 321 / 346), or about 7.2% of n1. The fractions 288/311 and 321 / 346 don't differ by much, not do the percents, but they do differ.

What is its change in temperature in Celsius? Convert 50 Celsius and 150 Celsius to Kelvin. What is the change in temperature in Kelvin? What is the change in temperature in Fahrenheit? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: The change in temperature in Celsius is 100 degrees (150-50= 100). 50 Celsius is 323 Kelvin (50+273= 323). 150 Celsius is 423 Kelvin (150+273= 423). The change in temperature in Kelvin is 100 degrees. The change in temperature in Fahrenheit is 180 degrees. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ------------------------------------------------ Self-Critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q002. A sample of gas originally at 0 Celsius and pressure 1 atmosphere is compressed from volume 450 milliliters to volume 50 milliliters, in which state its pressure is 16 atmospheres. What is its temperature in the new state? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: The temperature in the new state is approximately 485.3 K or 212.3 degrees Celsius. I found this by realizing that since the only things changing are pressure, volume, and temperature, this must mean that number of moles and R (which is always constant) are remaining constant. I manipulated the equation PV=nRT to have the constants on one side and the changing amounts on the other: PV/T=nR Since I know the right side of the equation (nR) is going to be constant, then I also know that PV/T is going to be a constant ratio. This means that even if the pressure, volume, and/or temperature change, the ratio between them will always be constant. With all this being said, I can set P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2, and solve for T2. 1(450)/273=16(50)/x NOTE: I changed the given temperatures into Kelvin by adding 273 to their Celsius values. Also, the x represents the unknown value for the temperature in the new state. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ------------------------------------------------ Self-Critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q003. What product or ratio involving P, V, n and T would remain constant if V and T were held constant? Why does this make sense? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: If V and T are held constant, I first solve for the equation PV=nRT for the two constant values and it looks like this: V/T= nR/P However, since the question asks for the ratio involving P, V, n, and T (Note: this list doesn't include R), I am going to manipulate the equation to solve for R and the other four variables will be on the other side of the equation. It looks like this: PV/nT= R This makes sense because R is a constant. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ------------------------------------------------ Self-Critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: query univ phy 17.114 / 17.116 (15.106 10th edition) 1.5 * 10^11 m, 1.5 kW/m^2, sun rad 6.96 * 10^8 m. How did you calculate the total radiation of the Sun and how did you use this result to get the radiation per unit area? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: First you need to find the surface area of the sun. You're given the radius and since the sun is a sphere, surface area of a sphere is equal to 4*pi*(r^2). So the surface area of the sun equals 4*pi*(1.5*10^11)^2= 2.85*10^23 m^2. Once you find the surface area, you're given the number of kilowatts per m^2 (1.5 kw/m^2) so you can multiply these two values to get the total number of watts being radiated from the sun (first you must convert kilowatts into watts). This gives you 1500 watts/m^2 * 2.85*10^23 m^2 which equals 4.275*10^26 watts. Once I found the total radiation being emitted, I could solve for the radiation per unit area by using my total radiation and dividing by the surface area of the earth with radius 6.96*10^8. The surface area for a sphere is 4*pi*r^2, which for this sphere gives 4*pi*(6.96*10^8)^2= 6.1*10^18. So now I divide the total watts being radiated by the sun by the surface area of the earth which is approximately 7.01*10^7 J/s/m^2 (4.275*10^26/6.1*10^18= 7.01*10^7). confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: Outline of solution strategy: If we multiply the number of watts per unit of area by the surface area of the Sun we get the number of watts radiated from the Sun. The energy flows outward in a spherically symmetric manner; at any distance the entire power is distributed over the radius of a sphere concentric with the Sun and of radius equal to the distance. So if we divide that number of watts by the area of a sphere whose radius is equal to that of the Earth’s orbit, we get the number of watts per unit of area at that distance. This strategy is followed in the student solution given below: Good student solution: Surface area of sphere of radius r is 4 pi r^2; if flux intensity is I then flux = 4 pi r^2 I. When r = 1.5 * 10^11 m, I = 1500 W / m^2, so the flux is 4 pi r^2 I = 4 pi * (1.5 * 10^11 m)^2 * 1500 W / m^2 = 4.28 * 10^26 watts. 4.28055 x 10 ^ 26 W / (4*`pi * (6.96 x 10 ^ 8 m)^2) = 4.28055 x 10 ^ 26 W / 6.08735 x 10 ^ 18 m^2 = 70318775.82 J/s/m^2 = 7.03 x 10 ^ 7 J/s/m^2 If the sun is radiating as an ideal blackbody, e = 1, then T would be found as follows: H = `dQ/`dt = 4.28055 x 10 ^ 26 W = (4*`pi * (6.96 x 10 ^ 8 m)^2) * (1) * (5.67051 x 10^-8 W/m^2*K) * T^4 So T^ 4 = 4.28055 x 10 ^ 26 W / 6.087351 x 10 ^ 18 m^2) * 1 * (5.67051 x 10^-8 W/m^2*K) T^4 = 1.240 * 10 ^ 15 K ^4 T = 5934.10766 K on surface of sun. ** Your Self-Critique: OK Your Self-Critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: univ phy (omitted from 12th edition, but should be worked now) was 17.115 Solar radiation of intensity 600 watts / m^2 is incident on an ice sheet. The temperature above and below the ice sheet is 0 Celsius. Assuming that 70% of the radiation is absorbed at the surface of the ice, how long take to melt a layer of ice 1.2 cm thick? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: Since the absorbed radiation at the surface of the ice is only about 70% of the solar radiation, I first multiplied the solar radiation (600 watts/m^2) by .70 to find the amount of radiation being absorbed (600*.7= 420). Since we know the layer of ice has a 1.2 cm thickness then the volume will be .012 m^3 for every square meter of surface area (12 cm= .012 m & volume is equal to l*w*h, you know the width (.012 m) and since you're talking about every 'square meter' the length and height will both be 1 m). Ice has a density about 8% less than that of water, so the density of ice is around 992 kg/m^3. When you multiply the density (992 kg/m^3) times the volume (.012 m^3), you get the approximate mass per m^3 which comes out to be 11.9 or about 12 kg per m^3. The heat of fusion is 3.3*10^5 J/kg, and the mass of the ice is about 12 kg/m^3, so the energy required to melt the ice is the heat of fusion times the mass which comes out to be 3,960,000 J. This value represents the heat required to melt the layer of ice. Since there are 420 J/second being absorbed, it will take about 9,430 seconds or 2.6 hours to melt the layer of ice. confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: ** Thermal energy is not radiating in significant quantities from the ice, so only the incoming radiation needs to be considered, and as stated only 70% of that energy is absorbed by the ice.. · 70% of the incoming 600 watts/m^2 is 420 watts / m^2, or 420 Joules/second for every square meter if ice. · Melting takes place at 0 C so there is no thermal exchange with the environment. Thus each square meter absorbs 420 Joules of energy per second. We need to consider the volume of ice corresponding to a square meter. Having found that we can determine the energy required to melt the given thickness: · A 1.2 cm thickness of ice will have a volume of .012 m^3 for every square meter of surface area; the mass will be close to 1000 kg/m^3, so there are about 12 kg of ice for every m^2 of surface (you can obtain a more accurate result by using the a more accurate density; the density of ice (which floats in water) is actually somewhat less than that of water). · It takes about 330,000 Joules to melt a kg of ice at 0 C, so to melt 12 kg requires around 4,000,000 J. At 420 Joules/sec this will require roughly 10,000 seconds, or around 3 hours. All these calculations were done mentally and are therefore approximate. You should check them yourself, using appropriately precise values of the constants, etc. ** ********************************************* Question: `q004. A body with a 1/2 m^2 surface area, at temperature 25 Celsius, has an emissivity of approximately 1. It exchanges energy by radiation with a large surface at temperature -20 Celsius. At what net rate does it lose energy? By what percent would the rate of energy loss change if the large surface was at temperature -270 Celsius? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: I am given area, two temperatures, and the emissitivity of a body. First, I convert the temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273 to each so my new temperatures are 298 K and 253 K. The net rate is equal to the emissitivity times the area times the Stefan- Boltzmann constant (5.67*10^-8) times the difference in the temperatures raised to the power of four. It looks like this: q=E*A*sigma*(T1^4-T2^4) where q is the net rate, E is the emissitivity, A is the area, sigma is the constant, T1 is the hot temperature, and T2 is the cold temperature. You're given all of these things to solve for the net rate (q). When you plug in the given values it looks like this: q=1*0.5*5.67*10^-8*(298^4-253^4) The net rate at which the body loses energy comes out to be about 107.4 Watts. If the large surface was at a temperature of 270 Celsius (or 3 K), the net energy loss would increase by about 108%. I determined this by first solving for the net rate of loss with this new temperature. With the new temperature the equation looked like this: q=1*0.5*5.67*10^-8*(298^4-3^4) q=223.6 Now to find the percent change, I subtracted the first net rate from this net rate to get a difference of 116.2 (223.6-107.4= 116.2) and divided this number by the original net rate and multiplied by 100 to get 108% (116.2/107.4= 1.08*100= 108%). confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ------------------------------------------------ Self-Critique Rating: " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: #*&!
