Question 13.2:
Molar volume is the volume occupied by 1 mol of any (ideal) gas at standard temperature
and pressure (STP: 1 atmospheric pressure, 0 °C). Show that it is 22.4 litres.
Answer
If flat strips of iron and brass were bonded together and this bimetallic strip were heated, what would be observed ? Justify your answer, and draw a sketch of the situation. Alpha for iron is 1.14 x 10^-5 degree Celsius. Alpha for brass is 1.88 x 10^-5 degree celsius
Aluminum has a thermal conductivity of 200 W/(m· C°). The bottom of an alu-
minum pot is 2.14 mm thick, has area 0.0314 m2, and sits on a burner whose tem-
perature is 280°C, and the pot contains boiling water at 100°C.
4. How much heat is conducted through the aluminum in 105 seconds?
5. How much water boils off in that 105 seconds?
