You have a cylindrical beverage container that has been sitting in your hot car all day, and it has heated up to a temperature of 50.0°C. It will now be placed into your refrigerator to cool down by natural convection. The air temperature inside your refrigerator is 4.0°C (assume P = 1.00 atm). Based on this initial condition, calculate whether you should place the beverage container standing upright, or laying on its side in order to cool it faster. The beverage container has a diameter of 65.0mm, and a height of 100.0mm; ignore any end effects and radiation.

A room of volume V contains air having equivalent molar mass M (in g/mol). If the temperature of the room is raised from T1 to T2, what mass of air will leave the room? Assume that the air pressure in the room is maintained at P0.
A rigid tank whose volume is unknown is divided into two parts by a partition. One side of the tank contains an ideal gas at 927°C. The other side is evacuated and has a volume twice the size of the part containing the gas. The partition is now removed and the gas expands to fill the entire tank. Heat is now applied to the gas until the pressure equals the initial pressure. Determine the final temperature of the gas.
A person taking a reading of the temperature in a freezer in Celsius makes two mistakes: first omitting the negative sign and then thinking the temperature is Fahrenheit. That is, the person reads – x °C as x °F . Oddly enough, the result is the correct Fahrenheit temperature. What is the original Celsius reading? Round your answer to three significant figures.
A helium balloon consists of a large bag loosely filled with 560 kg of helium at an initial temperature of 12°C. While exposed to the heat of the Sun, the helium gradually warms to a temperature of 31°C. The heating proceeds at a constant pressure of 1.0 atm. How much heat does the helium absorb during this temperature change?
Water is placed into an iron container. They are thermally isolated.The iron container has a mass of 600. g and is initially at 79.0 degrees Celsius. The water has a mass of 180. g and is initially at 16.0 degrees Celsius.What is the temperature of the container and water once they reach thermal equilibrium?
A certain amount of gas at 25.0°C and at a pressure of 0.650 atm is contained in a glass vessel. Suppose that the vessel can withstand a pressure of 2.00 atm. How high can you raise the temperature of the gas without bursting the vessel? In other words, at what temperature will the glass vessel shatter, in degrees Celsius.
The instruction booklet for your pressure cooker indicates that its highest setting is 12.7 psi. You know that standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi, so the booklet must mean 12.7 psi above atmospheric pressure. At what temperature i degrees Celsius will your food cook in this pressure cooker set on "high"? Express your answer numerically in degrees Celsius. ▸View Available Hint(s) T₂ = 195| ΑΣΦ 1 ? å
A weather balloon filled with helium gas has a volume of 300 m³ and pressure 1.4 x 105Pa at the Earth's surface (where the temperature is 293 K). The balloon is then released and moves to a high altitude, where the pressure in the balloon is 8.95 x 10*Pa and the temperature is 250 K (-23°C). What is the new volume of the balloon? A-V= 100 m³, B- V= 163.7 m³ C-V= 184 m³, D- V= 197m3, E-V = 400 m³, A В D O E
Suppose you have a closed rigid container of air at 20 Celsius on the surface of the Earth. We increase the temperature of the container to 77, leaving it closed, and read a pressure gauge attached to the container. Initially the reading was 101 KPa (kilopascals, or 1000 N/m2). What is the new reading? Give your answer in KPa.
There are two separate containers, each filled with a different ideal gas. Container A contains helium (He) and container B contains neon (Ne). Both have the same mass density and the same absolute pressure. If the gas in container A is at a temperature of -110.01 °C, what is the temperature of the gas in container B, in Kelvin?
During the summer after your first year, you are lucky enough to get a job making coffee at Starbucks, but you tell your parents and friends that you have secured a lucrative position as a “java engineer.” An eccentric chemistry professor stops in every day and orders 250 mL of house coffee at precisely 95°C. He then adds enough milk at 4°C to drop the temperature of the coffee to 90°C. Calculate the amount of milk (in mL) the professor must add to reach this temperature. (Assume coffee and milk have the same specific heat capacity: 4.186 J/g°C. Assume that they also have the same density: 1.0 g/mL) Calculate the heat lost by the coffee when its temperature is decreased from 95°C to 90°C.
