1. Suppose an unsaturated air parcel starts at sea level with a temperature of 10° C and rises to the lifting condensation level at 1 km. The parcel continues to rise at the saturated adiabatic lapse rate of 0.5° C/100 m to a mountain peak at an elevation of 4 km. What is the temperature of the parcel at the peak?

One way to cool a gas is to let it expand. When a certain gas under a pressure of 5.00 106 Ha at 25.0C is allowed to expand to 3.00 times its original volume, its final pressure is 1.07 106 Pa. (a) What is the initial temperature of the gas in Kelvin? (b) What is the final temperature of the system? (See Section 10.4.)
(a) If the partial pressure of water vapor is 8.05 torr, what is the dew point? (760 torr = I atm 101, 325 Pa) (b) On a warn day when the air temperature is 35 and the dew point is 25 , what are the partial of the water in the air and the relative humidity?
The Trans-Alaskan pipeline is 1 300 km long, reaching from Prudhoe Bay to the port of Valdez, and is subject to temperatures ranging from 73C to +35C. (a) How much does the steel pipeline expand due to the difference in temperature? (b) How can one compensate for this expansion?
Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid than may overflow when 1he engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 16.0L capacity when at 10.0C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95.0C operating temperature, given that the fluid’s volume coefficient of expansion is =400106/C ? Note that this coefficient is approximate, because most car radiators have operating temperatures of greater than 95.0C.
5. Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into thermal energy. If a woman rubs her hands back and forth for a total of 20 rubs, at a distance of 7.50 cm per rub, and with an average frictional force of 40.0 N, what is the temperature increase? The mass of tissues warmed is only o.10o kg, mostly in the palms and fingers.
8. IP A constant-volume gas thermometer has a pressure of 80.3 kPa at -10.0 °C and a pressure of 86.4 kPa at 10.0 °C. (a) At what temperature does the pressure of this system extrapolate to zero? (b) What are the pressures of the gas at the freezing and boiling points of water? (c) In general terms, how would your answers to parts (a) and (b) change if a different constant- volume gas thermometer is used? Explain.
