If the hole is 10.0% bigger in diameter than the 22.0ºC rod, at what temperature will the rod be the same size as the hole? (b) What is unreasonable about this temperature? (c) Which premise is responsible?
(a) The density of water at 0ºC is very nearly 1000 kg/m3(it is actually 999.84 kg/m3), whereas the density of ice at 0ºC is 917 kg/m3. Calculate the pressure necessary to keep ice from expanding when it freezes, neglecting the effect such a large pressure would have on the freezing temperature. (This problem gives you only an indication of how large the forces associated with freezing water might be.) (b) What are the implications of this result for biological cells that are frozen?
Question:(a) At what depth in freshwater is the critical pressure of water reached, given that the surface is at sea level? (b) At what temperature will this water boil? (c) Is a significantly higher temperature needed to boil water at a greater depth?
Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water \(1.00{\rm{ km}}\) high for a temperature increase of \(1.00^\circ {\rm{C}}\) . Note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth.
Why does a beaker of 40.0ºC water placed in a vacuum chamber start to boil as the chamber is evacuated (air is pumped out of the chamber)? At what pressure does the boiling begin? Would food cook any faster in such a beaker?
