Problem 37b
How much heat does it take to increase the temperature of mol of an ideal gas by K near room temperature if the gas is held at constant volume and is monatomic?
Problem 39a
Compute the specific heat at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas, and compare it with the specific heat of liquid water. The molar mass of N2 is g/mol.
Problem 41a
For diatomic carbon dioxide gas (CO2, molar mass g/mol) at K, calculate the most probable speed .
Problem 41b
For diatomic carbon dioxide gas (CO2, molar mass g/mol) at K, calculate the average speed .
Problem 41c
For diatomic carbon dioxide gas (CO2, molar mass g/mol) at K, calculate the root-mean-square speed .
Problem 42a
For a gas of nitrogen molecules (N2), what must the temperature be if of all the molecules have speeds less than m/s? Use Table . The molar mass of N2 is g/mol.
Problem 43a
Solid water (ice) is slowly warmed from a very low temperature. What minimum external pressure must be applied to the solid if a melting phase transition is to be observed? Describe the sequence of phase transitions that occur if the applied pressure is such that .
Problem 44a
The vapor pressure is the pressure of the vapor phase of a substance when it is in equilibrium with the solid or liquid phase of the substance. The relative humidity is the partial pressure of water vapor in the air divided by the vapor pressure of water at that same temperature, expressed as a percentage. The air is saturated when the humidity is . The vapor pressure of water at °C is Pa. If the air temperature is °C and the relative humidity is , what is the partial pressure of water vapor in the atmosphere (that is, the pressure due to water vapor alone)?
