Suppose small, spherical pieces of pasta are floating in a column of water at a temperature of 298 K, in an experiment similar to Perrin's. Using a microscope, you are able to count the number of pieces of pasta per litre. You position the microscope at a height of 6.0 cm above the bottom of the water column and you count 130 pieces of pasta. You next move to a position that is 15.0 cm above the bottom of the column, and you count 65 pieces of pasta. How many pieces of pasta would you find 20.0 cm above the bottom of the column?

The volume of a bubble that starts at the bottom of a lake at 4.55°C increases by a factor of 8.00 as it rises to the surface where the temperature is 18.15°C and the air pressure is 0.965 atm. Assuming that the density of the lake water is 1.00 g/cm3, determine the depth of the lake. (Please type answer no write by hend).
You happen to come across a piece of metal that has a density of p 8.12 g/cm3 when the temperature is To = 42.5 °C. If the metal is cooled to a temperature of T1 0.00 °C, does the density change? Yes, the density will decrease since the volume changes. Yes, since the metal contracts and the mass is constant, the density will increase. No, because as the volume changes so does the mass. No, density does not depend on temperature. Calculate the density of the piece of metal at this temperature, P1. The coefficient of volume expansion for this piece of metal is B = 7.62 x 10-5 1/°C. -0.0263 Pi = g/cm3 Incorrect

On the surface of a hypothetical planet X, the atmospheric pressure is 4.25 x 106 Pa, and the temperature is 707 K. On the earth's surface the atmospheric pressure is 1.00 x 105 Pa, while the surface temperature can reach 320 K. These data imply that the planet X has a "thicker" atmosphere at its surface than does the earth, which means that the number of molecules per unit volume (N/V) is greater on the surface of planet X than on the earth. Find the ratio (N/V)X/(N/V)Earth.

Two students in a physics lab have to construct a constant-volume gas thermometer as part of their end of year project. They use liquid nitrogen (-196°C) and boiling pentane (36.1°C) to calibrate the thermometer. The corresponding values of pressure are 0.420 atm and 1.325 atm. The students plot a pressure versus temperature graph with pressure on the y-axis and temperature on the x-axis. (a) Determine the y intercept and slope of the linear graph that relates the pressure to the temperature. slope atm/°C y intercept atm b) What value of absolute zero do the students get from this calibration?°C(c) What pressure readings would this thermometer give for the freezing and boiling points of water? freezing point atm boiling point atm
