Most cars have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid that may overflow when the engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 16.0-L capacity when at 10.0°C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach a temperature of 95.0°C, given that the fluid's volume coefficient of expansion is B = 400x10-6/C?

Review. The mass of a hot-air balloon and its cargo (not including the air inside) is 200 kg. The air outside is at 10.0°C and 101 kPa. The volume of the balloon is 400 m3. To what temperature must the air in the balloon be warmed before the balloon will lift off? (Air density at 10.0°C is 1.244 kg/m3.)
A high-pressure gas cylinder contains 70.0 L of toxic gas at a pressure of 2.10 x 107 N/m2 and a temperature of 14.0°C. Its valve leaks after the cylinder is dropped. The cylinder is cooled to dry Ice temperatures (-78.5°C), 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? N/m² (b) What is the final pressure if one-tenth of the gas escapes? N/m² (c) To what temperature must the tank be cooled to reduce the pressure to 1.00 atm (assuming the gas does not change phase and that there is no leakage during cooling)? K Additional Materials
A high-pressure gas cylinder contains 50.13 L of toxic gas at a pressure of 1.40 × 10¹N/m² and a temperature of 25.0°C. Its value leaks after the cylinder is dropped. The cylinder is cooled to dry ice temperature (-78.5°C) 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?
own write-up. Problem 1: At 20°C, a rod is exactly 20.05 cm long on a steel ruler. Both are placed in an oven at 270°C, where the rod now measures 20.11 cm on the same ruler. What is the coefficient of linear expansion for the material of which the rod is made? The coefficient of expansion for steel is as = 11 × 10-6/°C.
A cylinder of fixed capacity 66.4 litres contains helium gas at standard temperature and pressure. What is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the gas in the cylinder by 18.0 °C ? (R = 8.31 J mol-1 K-1).
An automobile tire is inflated with air originally at 10.0°C and normal atmospheric pressure. During the process, the air is compressed to 27.0% of its original volume and the temperature is increased to 39.0°C. (a) What is the tire pressure in pascals? Pa (b) After the car is driven at high speed, the tire's air temperature rises to 85.0°C and the tire's interior volume increases by 3.00%. What is the new tire pressure (absolute) in pascals? Pa
Step 1 (a) The ideal-gas equation describes each condition of the air in the tire. We will set up ratios in order to describe these changes. Dividing the equations PV = nRT in the initial and final states, we have PfVf Tf P¡Vi Ti Solving for the final pressure in the tire, gives Pf = = = which gives I Tf P(V)() P₁ Vf T₁ = (1.013 x 105 Pa) x 105 Pa. Note that the volume V¡ cancels out of the equation. = Vf Po = Pr (V ( ) ( ) Pd Pf Vi V₁ Step 2 (b) After the car is driven, the temperature and volume of air in the tire have changed. Let Td be the temperature and Vd be the volume of air in the tire. We have PdVd Td PfVf Tf' x 105 Pa 273 + 273 + Vf Vf Again we see that the volume Vf cancels out of the equation. °C K °℃ K = x 105 Pa.
A bicycle tire has a pressure of 6.80 ✕ 105 N/m2 at a temperature of 19.0°C and contains 2.30 L of gas. What will its pressure be (in Pa) if you let out an amount of air that has a volume of 120 cm3 at atmospheric pressure? Assume tire temperature and volume remain constant. _________Pa
A steel rod 30.0 m long, installed when the temperature was 10°C, is in a bridge that heats up to 40oC on a hot summer day. Steel's coefficient of linear expansion is 1.2 × 10-5 K-1. The bridge is built so the rod has an expansion space of 5 cm. Is this enough space? What is the increase in the length of the rod, in mm?
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.
A hot air balloon uses the principle of buoyancy to create lift. By making the air inside the balloon less dense then the surrounding air, the balloon is able to lift objects many times its own weight. A large hot air balloon has a maximum balloon volume of 2090 m3. a. If the air temperature in the balloon is 54 °C, how much additional mass, in kilograms, can the balloon lift? Assume the molar mass of air is 28.97 g/mol, the air density is 1.20 kg/m3, and the air pressure is 1 atm.
Two massless, frictionless pistons are inside a horizontal tube opened at both ends. A 10-cm-long thread connects the pistons. The cross-sectional area of the tube is 20 cm2. The pressure and temperature of gas between the pistons and the outside air are the same and are equal to P = 1.0×10^5 N/m^2 and T = 21C. At what temperature will the thread break if it breaks when the tension reaches 32 N ?
