Get started for freeWater expands significantly when it freezes: a volume increase of about \({\rm{9\% }}\) occurs. As a result of this expansion and because of the formation and growth of crystals as water freezes, anywhere from \({\rm{10\% }}\) to \({\rm{30\% }}\) of biological cells are burst when animal or plant material is frozen. Discuss the implications of this cell damage for the prospect of preserving human bodies by freezing so that they can be thawed at some future date when it is hoped that all diseases are curable
Question: A constant-volume gas thermometer contains a fixed amount of gas. What property of the gas is measured to indicate its temperature?
Question:Atmospheric pressure atop Mt. Everest is 3.30×104 N/m2. (a) What is the partial pressure of oxygen there if it is 20.9% of the air? (b) What percent oxygen should a mountain climber breathe so that its partial pressure is the same as at sea level, where atmospheric pressure is 1.01×105 N/m2? (c) One of the most severe problems for those climbing very high mountains is the extreme drying of breathing passages. Why does this drying occur?
A bicycle tire has a pressure of 7.00 x 105 N/m2 at a temperature of and contains 2.00L of gas. What will its pressure be if you let out an amount of air that has a volume of 100 cm3 at atmospheric pressure? Assume tire temperature and volume remain constant.
Question: A high-pressure gas cylinder contains of toxic gas at a pressure of and a temperature of . Its valve leaks after the cylinder is dropped. The cylinder is cooled to dry ice temperature () to reduce the leak rate and pressure so that it can be safely repaired. (a) What is the final pressure in the tank, assuming a negligible amount of gas leaks while being cooled and that there is no phase change? (b) What is the final pressure if one-tenth of the gas escapes? (c) To what temperature must the tank be cooled to reduce the pressure to (assuming the gas does not change phase and that there is no leakage during cooling)? (d) Does cooling the tank appear to be a practical solution?
