Q49P
Question: (II)If the pressure in a gas is tripled while its volume is held constant, by what factor does\({v_{{\rm{rms}}}}\)change?
Q4Q
Question: In the relation \(\Delta l = \alpha {l_{\rm{o}}}\Delta T\), should \({l_{\rm{o}}}\) be the initial length, the final length, or does it matter?
Q50P
Question: (II)Show that the rms speed of molecules in a gas is given by\({{\bf{v}}_{{\bf{rms}}}}{\bf{ = }}\sqrt {{\bf{3P/\rho }}} \)where P is the pressure in the gas and\({\bf{\rho }}\)is the gas density.
Q51P
Question: (II)Show that for a mixture of two gases at the same temperature, the ratio of their rms speeds is equal to the inverse ratio of the square roots of their molecular masses,\(\frac{{{{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}}}}{{{{\bf{v}}_{\bf{2}}}}}{\bf{ = }}\sqrt {\frac{{{{\bf{M}}_{\bf{2}}}}}{{{{\bf{M}}_{\bf{1}}}}}} \).
Q52P
Question: (II)What is the rms speed of nitrogen molecules contained in an\({\bf{8}}{\bf{.5}}\;{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{3}}}\)volume at 2.9 atm if the total amount of nitrogen is 2100 mol?
Q53P
Question: (II)Two isotopes of uranium,\({}^{{\bf{235}}}{\bf{U}}\)and\({}^{{\bf{238}}}{\bf{U}}\)(the superscripts refer to their atomic masses), can be separated by a gas diffusion process by combining them with fluorine to make the gaseous compound\({\bf{U}}{{\bf{F}}_{\bf{6}}}\). Calculate the ratio of the rms speeds of these molecules for the two isotopes, at constant T. Use Appendix B for masses.
Q55P
Question: (I)\({\rm{C}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}\)exists in what phase when the pressure is 35 atm and the temperature is 35掳C (Fig. 13鈥23)?
Q5Q
Question: A flat bimetallic strip consists of a strip of aluminum riveted to a strip of iron. When heated, the strip will bend. Which metal will be on the outside of the curve? Why? (Hint: See Table 13鈥1.)
Q66P
(III) Air that is at its dew point of 5掳C is drawn into a building where it is heated to 22掳C. What will be the relative humidity at this temperature? Assume constant pressure of 1.0 atm. Take into account the expansion of the air.
Q68P
(II) Estimate the time needed for a glycine molecule (see Table 13鈥4) to diffuse a distance of \(25\;\mu {\rm{m}}\) in water at 20掳C if its concentration varies over that distance from \(1.00\;{\rm{mol/}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{3}}}\) to \(0.50\;{\rm{mol/}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{3}}}\)? Compare this 鈥渟peed鈥 to its rms (thermal) speed. The molecular mass of glycine is about 75 u.
