(a)
Interpretation:
The work done by the bicycle pump has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The system can done two kind of works. The one is the work of expansion which is the work which arises from the change in the volume of the system. On the other hand the second work done is the work of non-expansion which does not involve any change in the volume of the system. The expression for calculating the work of expansion is shown below.
(b)
Interpretation:
The work done by the bicycle pump is positive or negative has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Same as part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The change in the internal energyof the bicycle pump has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Same as part (a).

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- The enthalpy of combustion of diamond is -395.4 kJ/mol. C s, dia O2 g CO2 g Determine the fH of C s, dia.arrow_forwardThe statement Energycan beneithercreatednor destroyedis sometimes used as an equivalent statement of the first law of thermodynamics. There areinaccuracies to the statement, however. Restate it tomake it less inaccurate.arrow_forwardNitrogen gas (2.75 L) is confined in a cylinder under constant atmospheric pressure (1.01 105 pascals). The volume of gas decreases to 2.10 L when 485 J of energy is transferred as heat to the surroundings. What is the change in internal energy of the gas?arrow_forward
- What is the sign of the work when a refrigerator compresses a gas (the system) to a liquid during the refrigeration cycle?arrow_forwardA 220-ft3 sample of gas at standard temperature and pressure is compressed into a cylinder, where it exerts pressure of 2000 psi. Calculate the work (in J) performed when this gas expands isothermally against an opposing pressure of 1.0 atm. (The amount of work that can be done is equivalent to the destructive force of about 1/4 lb of dynamite, giving you an idea of how potentially destructive compressed gas cylinders can be if improperly handled!)arrow_forward9.11 Analyze the units of the quantity (pressurevolume) and show that they are energy units, consistent with the idea of PV-work.arrow_forward
- Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide; it vaporizes at room temperature and normal pressures to the gas. Suppose you put 21.5 g of dry ice in a vessel fitted with a piston (similar to the one in Figure 6.9 but with the weight replaced by the atmosphere), and it vaporizes completely to the gas, pushing the piston upward until its pressure and temperature equal those of the surrounding atmosphere at 24.0C and 751 mmHg. Calculate the work done by the gas in expanding against the atmosphere. Neglect the volume of the solid carbon dioxide, which is very small in comparison to the volume of the gas phase.arrow_forward9.42 Why is enthalpy generally more useful than internal energy in the thermodynamics of real world systems?arrow_forward
