Question 4 continued: Graphs b through f of Fig. 18-25 are additional sketches of T versus t, of which one or more are impossible to produce. (a) Which is impossible and why? (b) In the possible ones, is the equilibrium temperature above, below, or at the freezing point of water? (c) As the possible situations reach equilibrium, does the liquid partly freeze, fully freeze, or undergo no freezing? Does the ice partly melt, fully melt, or undergo no melting?

- An aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)arrow_forwardFor a temperature increase of 10 at constant volume, what is the heat absorbed by (a) 3.0 mol of a dilute monatomic gas; (b) 0.50 mol of a dilute diatomic gas; and (c) 15 mol of a dilute polyatomic gas?arrow_forwardAn aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K.

- One of a dilute diatomic gas occupying a volume of 10.00 L expands against a constant pressure of 2.000 atm when it is slowly heated. If the temperature of the gas rises by 10.00 K and 400.0 J of heat are added in the process, what is its final volume?arrow_forwardTwo metal rods, one lead and one brass, are each clamped at one end (Fig. 6). At 0.0°C, the rods are each 40.0 cm long and are separated by 0.034 cm at their unfastened ends. At what temperature will the rods just come into contact and determine the change in length of the lead. (Assume that the base to which the rods are clamped undergoes a negligibly small thermal expansion.) 0.034 cm 40.0 cm 40.0 cm brass lead T = 0.0°C Figure 6arrow_forwardWater expands significantly when it freezes: a volume increase of about 9% occurs. As a result of this expansion and because of the formation and growth of crystals as water freezes, anywhere from 10% to 30% of biological cells are burst when animal or plant material is frozen. Discuss the implications of this cell damage for the prospect of preserving human bodies by freezing so that they can be thawed at some future date when it is hoped that all diseases are curable.arrow_forward
- Problem 5: Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid that may overflow when the engine is hot. Such a radiator, made of copper, is filled to its 16-L capacity when at 10.0°C. What volume of radiator fluid, in liters, will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 98.5°C operating temperature, given that the fluid’s thermal coefficient of volume expansion is 400.0 × 10-6 / °C?
