Get started for freeA diving bell is a -tall cylinder closed at the upper end but open at the lower end. The temperature of the air in the bell is . The bell is lowered into the ocean until its lower end is deep. The temperature at that depth is .
a. How high does the water rise in the bell after enough time has passed for the air inside to reach thermal equilibrium?
b. A compressed-air hose from the surface is used to expel all the water from the bell. What minimum air pressure is needed to do this?
The air temperature and pressure in a laboratory are 20C and 1.0 atm. A 1.0 L container is open to the air. The container is then sealed and placed in a bath of boiling water. After reaching thermal equilibrium, the container is opened. How many moles of air escape?
A student is asked to sketch a pV diagram for a gas that goes
through a cycle consisting of (a) an isobaric expansion, (b) a
constant-volume reduction in temperature, and (c) an isothermal
process that returns the gas to its initial state. The student draws
the diagram shown in FIGURE Q18.12. What, if anything, is wrong
with the student’s diagram?
At what temperature does the numerical value in °F match the numerical value in °C?
A nebula—a region of the galaxy where new stars are forming—contains a very tenuous gas with . This gas is heated to by ultraviolet radiation from nearby stars. What is the gas pressure in atm?
