Chapter 1, Problem 92FP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The working of a Galileo thermometer needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
A Galileo thermometer consists of a sealed glass cylinder. The glass cylinder contains a clear liquid and number of glass containers with different densities.
The different containers rise or fall depending on their densities and the density of the surrounding liquid that changes with the change in temperature.

An atom of helium has a radius The 31. pm and an average speed in the gas phase at 25°C of 787.m/s.
Suppose the speed of a helium atom at 25°C has been measured to within 0.010%. Calculate the smallest possible length
of box inside of which the atom could be known to be located with certainty.
Write your answer as a multiple of He and round it to 2 significant figures. For example, if the smallest box the atom could
be in turns out to be 42.0 times the radius of an atom of helium, you would enter "42.He" as your answer.

- In the following scenario, identify which of the statements represents a theory, law, or hypothesis. (a) A student exploring the properties of gases proposes that is she decreases the volume of a sample of gas then the pressure exerted by the sample will increase (b) Many scientists over time have conducted similar experiments and have concluded that pressure and volume are inversely proportional. (c) She proposes that the reason this occurs is that if the volume is decreased, more molecules will collide with a given area of the container walls, causing the pressure to be greater.arrow_forwardScientific models do not describe reality.
